The availability of xdg-open has nothing to do with whether or not you are running Emacs on a Linux system. Indeed, even on a system where it is available, it won't do anything useful if you're running from a console. While I think it's a good default for someone using a desktop that conforms to XDG standards, there should be a check if in fact Emacs is running on such a desktop.
