The problem is that running Windows in a VM is an easy way of getting around current Anti-Cheat software. You can write a cheat that runs on the host OS and reads/writes game memory by directly accessing the guest memory. Even worse, the guest OS has no real way of detecting if you're doing anything malicious so it kind of just has to assume that you're trying to cheat if you're running a VM.
