> Ideal for what purpose?

To shove it at companies like Tencent who will ban you for trying to run WeChat in a virtual machine, and restore freedom to the user to run software how they want. WeChat also randomly scans for Wi-Fi networks, I'm guessing they sniff VMs with tricks like that.

It should also be a violation of disability law to force users to use a hardware mobile phone to run a particular piece of software. VMs open the doors to custom accessibility solutions.

They shouldn't even have the right to know what it's running on, they should just hand me bytecode of a suggested (but not required) client, and open a port on their server for service.

Also in general to shove it at any company with potential spyware. I always run unknown closed-source software in a VM and I should have the basic right to do that. But sometimes those companies try to detect VMs. If the VM engine is good enough they shouldn't be able to.

Sure, my point wasn't that there is no use case, just that there are use cases where it isn't necessary and—more than that—is counterproductive
