Not only are the words in Sean's example not limiting, in fact, FM through release 5.5.x used FrameMaker linked hypertext files for online help and also context-sensitive help. It was cross-platform, of course!

Similarly, people get distracted about other words. For example, "you
can't use FrameMaker to create online help because it has 'BOOK' files
and is linear, not random access."

Nonesense. The use of those terms limit nothing. For example, when you
decide to write a help system, do you write all the topics onto slips of
paper, throw all the topics into a hat, and pick the order you write
them in at random?
