Thoughts? The real question for me is what do we expect this setting to do. If the intention is to pass the host environment, then that doesn't generally make sense for remote targets, and failing would be good. But if we just want to ensure it inherits "a suitable" environment, then there's no reason to fail. I believe this is what `target.inherit-env` will do for remote launches, where it will take the environment from the remote platform, and "inherit" that. I think it would make sense if this setting and `target.inherit-env` behaved the same way...

That would be very similar to what is doing > CommandObjectProcess SBPlatform::GetEnvironment sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I am also wondering if D76009 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D76009> is relevant in any way here...
