Misleading debugging information: "Node.js and the Chrome need to be run on the same platform"

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.
