The interesting thing is, how is Docker for Mac able to run x86 containers at speed when Apple's Developer Documentation for Rosetta says it can't be used for virtual machines?

Or have they just embedded the QEMU on-demand translator with binfmt_misc in the ARM virtual machine and the M1/M2 is just powerful enough to make users not notice what's going on?

Rosetta can be used to emulate individual processes inside a linux-based virtual machine - Apple provide tooling for this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/run...
