I don't really understand. I thought XCP-NG was using the Xen hypervisor.

That's because of the confusing names. Xen is not XenServer:

* Xen is the hypervisor, the "upstream" used by both XenServer & XCP-ng

* XenServer or XCP-ng is the platform, using Xen and various other things, to deliver a "turnkey" experience for server virtualization

Xen Project is part of the Linux foundation, and have various contributors, including AMD and Arm (for the embedded world) and others (including Vates, Citrix etc.)
