Those exe files look like payloads destined for Windows machines. Although the screenshot is surely staged, I could imagine seeing output like that in a USB Linux system for physical-access cracking, or if someone was collecting cracked executables for distribution or examination, or if they went ham generating exploit containers in Metasploit.

Security work/pentesting is one of the few situations where you could legitimately find yourself working with a lot of EXE files in Linux, because your targets are typically Windows systems.
