VMs are not 'simulated hardware' either honestly.

To varying degrees they actually are. The hypervisor provides simulated devices and the kernel inside has device drivers to speak to them. For efficiency these devices are as "thin" as possible, but they are still simulated devices.
Unless you're using something like PCIe passthrough to give raw hardware access to a VM.
