The most commonly used operating system worldwide is indeed Linux, in the form of Android on mobile devices. They are very attractive targets, since needing to charge a mobile phone on the go is a very common use case. But I suppose the challenge is that, as far as I know, the BadUSB "keyboard" does not have a way to detect which system it is talking to, or to receive any feedback. So what happens when you blindly press keys to attack a system? Anyway, today, modern powerful GaN chargers are tiny, so bring your own, not just a cable.
