I've seen these flags mentioned before, for both VirtualBox and VMWare. And it's always without exception been in conjunction with trying to get OSX running in a VM on non-Apple hardware. I'm pretty sure both VirtualBox and VMWare could create a Apple-friendly template with these settings already tweaked for what OSX expects. In fact it would be trivial. But for some reason they haven't. Considering how VMWare Workstation Pro actually supports running MacOS on Windows, but has the relevant config removed in production-builds (needing it to be hacked back in), I'm going to assume there's some kind of political pressure going on here. Maybe even from a certain Cupertino-based company, wanting to prevent the mainline virtualization providers from commodotizing their commodity, run of the mill, standard X86 PC operating system. That's a shame, because if they didn't, it would certainly make it much easier for me to build a solid and reliable CI pipeline for our MacOS and iOS stuff.
