Doesn't "IBM i on POWER systems" imply either limitation "IBM i only runs on POWER systems, nothing else", or the possibility of IBM i on other hardware, but it's somehow different? "IBM i on AMD systems"?

Do I have to say "Windows on Intel", "Ubuntu on AMD", "Android on Snapdragon"?

Going farther afield, "Camry on Toyota chassis", "F150 on Ford"?

Anything wrong with just "IBM i"?
