I would say it's mostly that nobody optimized it (perhaps yet) for that environment. There's generally nothing inherently slow in the VM boot sequence - it's just that this was not a priority, so it's slow. There are some attributes suggesting it could be a good fit for that environment, for example, the VM is generally very small - you can get a full system in ~20MB - and that again wasn't something that was heavily optimized.
