I only need it for the very occasional testing of open-source software on Windows, using the precanned VM images provided by Microsoft (last I checked, they had none for qemu, or I would be using that instead). And if you’re using software commercially, you’d better be damned sure you understand the licensing before setting up. A company of any size will have lawyers vetting that anyway.
In other words, I don’t disagree with you, but those issues don’t matter for my use case.
