Right.

Heck, SUSE has a tool: one of the two I'm suggesting on the page ATM.
The source is on github:

https://github.com/openSUSE/imagewriter

all we have to do is send 'em a few lousy PRs to make the branding
configurable, add any features we think are missing (image verification,
if it doesn't already do it? a little mechanism to find available images
for the distro based on a configuration file, then each distro can ship
its own config file? the persistence mechanism thing?), and Bob's your
uncle, really. Looks like it already runs on Linux as well as Windows,
so we have two of our platforms covered right there.
