I'm surprised that TeX Live allows installing (cli program providing) packages which don't belong to the current platform. Maybe we can contact TeX Live to know more about the reason of this sort of flexibility.

@muzimuzhi See texlive doc 3.2.1 Binary systems menu (Unix only):

Figure 5 displays the text mode binaries menu. By default, only the binaries for your current platform will be installed. From this menu, you can select installation of binaries for other platforms as well. This can be useful if you are sharing a TeX tree across a network of heterogeneous machines, or for a dual-boot system.
