What they really need is something powerful and open along the lines of QEMU/KVM. HyperKit is dead-last when it comes the virtualization race, and it's one of the technologies I'm rooting for Apple to scrap altogether. MacOS needs either a thinner hypervisor or a lower-level virtualization solution, either of which I see as equally unlikely from Apple.

They added a framework specifically for Linux in Big Sur. Also QEMU runs on MacOS lol

Is there an official source of disk images to install macOS in a VM?

Pretty happy with Parallels performance on my M1 Mac tbh.
