Since when has this been the case?!

The requirement that Node.js and Chrome need to be run on the same platform is not accurate in the context of debugging. Cross-platform debugging using Chrome DevTools is a standard practice and works seamlessly due to the underlying network and WebSocket protocols that facilitate communication between Node.js and DevTools. The documentation should ideally clarify this to avoid confusion.

I have no idea why this was added in the first place... https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/commit/15774e7744da60bb418aa1ee14f5d88b7b9cda1e

Please feel free to open a PR to fix this; I also have no record of why this was merged/added. This was before my time on the project.
