virtualbox drivers are/were a constant source of kernel panics on MacOS and Linux too, so that should not be underestimated.

IIRC they also disabled ASLR kernel wide.

Additionally, and perhaps less important: USB3 is a commercial feature of virtualbox, there are stories of companies getting C&D letters (or Audits/Invoices) from Oracle because a developer had installed the virtualbox extensions..

Starting with VirtualBox 7, USB3 no longer requires the commercial extension pack but is part of the OSE release. See https://github.com/cyberus-technology/virtualbox-kvm/blob/de...
