Actually, I'm pretty sure a lot of security professionals don't use Kali Linux because 1) they only need a subset of the pentest tools, 2) many companies' internal monitoring systems trigger alerts if they detect someone is using Kali Linux/BT (via OS fingerprinting).

This is only my anecdotal experience though - thoughts?

That might be true, although it does seem like a reasonable choice for authenticity in a tv show.
