I've disagreed with that conclusion here fairly recently:

Note that
o Ubuntu Linux has iconv with pages ISO8859-1 and IBM-1047
and implements the code page definition, not the z/OS OEMVS311 deviation.
o VM/CMS pipelines has pages ISO8859-1 and IBM-1047
and implements the code page definition, not the z/OS OEMVS311 deviation.
z/OS needs to learn to play well with others, not just to play with itself.
