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...
