VirtualBox or VMWare.” 

Stock qemu is now works well in place of these heavier apps. It can take advantage of the KVM virtualization system and give near native performance, even on systems where one does not have root. (Provided KVM is enabled which it usually is.) 

It does mean a bit boot time for a kernel -- the difference is essentially how much extra stuff is bundled. It depends if the goal is compartmentalization and packaging of an application for deployment (like the AI agent use case) or if one wants to control the whole stack without any commitments to an operating system.
