That would not surprise me. Back when we were considering virtualisers many years ago, the issue was one of the reasons² I recommended against vbox despite using it at home - it felt a bit too dark-patterny¹ for my tastes. We went with a VMWare tool instead.
[1] though I'm not sure the term “dark pattern” had been coined, or if it had it was in my vocab, at that point
[2] another being Oracles general behaviour at the time - this was after their purchase of Sun and therefore Virtual Box.
