They're using the harnesses provided by the respective underlying Operating Systems to do virtualization.

I'd like to explore that topic more too, but I feel like the context of "we deferred to MacOS/Windows" is highly relevant context here. I'd even argue that should be the default position and that "extensive justification" is required to NOT do that.
