Apple has quite strict virtualization constraints in its user agreement. I'm wondering if this is going to change any time soon.

This always comes up, but what does it actually prevent? Has Apple ever enforced it? It would seem likely that doing so would be hitting their power users.
They enforce it in their Virtualization framework: https://eclecticlight.co/2022/08/04/virtualisation-on-apple-...
And they specify it must be on Apple hardware.

They don’t enforce that though I don’t think, but I wonder if anyone has been caught or sued?

Haven't heard of any individuals being sued, but Apple did go after Psystar, who sold machines with macOS (Mac OS X back then): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psystar_Corporation
