You are using the term incorrectly.

As I said before:

> “Portable”, in the context of how it was used, generally refers to software using platform agnostic idioms.

Words have meanings. If the code is tied to an architecture then it isnt portable. And as you said, there’s nothing wrong with that. But arguing some other definition of a word people are already using is just stupid.
