For some people, VM means everything that the language offers to the programmer at runtime. Sometimes libraries, usually GC. Even malloc could be considered VM.

Those people are wrong. Malloc and crt0 aren't VM's.

Some people are wrong, the word they are looking for is runtime, not VM.

It's about what "some people think". This is Computer Science. Things have a name and a definition.
