An excellent example is Marcan's m1n1 hypervisor. He uses it to boot MacOS to inspect interactions between the OS and hardware calls.

Part of his efforts to have native linux on m1 CPU based apple devices.

There is a very technical video he gives an overview of his hypervisor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igYgGH6PnOw
