> Keep in mind that even among the small minority of users who have a hypervisor installed VirtualBox, VmWare and Qemu are a lot more popular than hyper-v.

Keep in mind, that these do require Hyper-V nowadays. Especially if your Windows 10/11 has virtualization-based security enabled (mandatory in 11); then using Hyper-V is the only way to virtualize anything.

Hyper-V is also requirement for WSL2.

So given this, Hyper-V might be enabled on a good chunk of these billion PCs.

It's not that Hyper-V would be my first choice either. But it is not exotic configuration at all, and the fact that it is a first party product which breaks this makes it even weirder.



Exactly.

It might be bubble compared to entire planet, but its still pretty big bubble. Once you have hundreed K users, you should have responsibility to deliver.

Especially becasue people in that bubble are those moving the others forward.
