When you see the big picture this is in general true. Problem is, even there you need physical ressources that will change from machine to machine. Can you read all your data into RAM at once? Or should you redesign your algorithm to process in variable chunks to cater for the bad systems that do not have so much RAM? Should you assume a floating point coprocessor? Or should you use fixed point for representing your data? Etc. Decisions, decisions... What I propose is to keep in mind those "portability" considerations but making them a secondary view AFTER the usability and stability issues are solved.
