Doubt it. Most mainframe shops probably run more than linux. All IBM has to do is say zOS is only supported under VM, and that's that.
I suppose there are some linux-only mainframe shops, but I need to see a couple of cases where $100,000 per processor hardware makes sense in a linux-only shop before I believe it's more than just a good way for IBM salespeople to make Porsche payments.
