Because we're talking about remote desktop over low bandwidth connections. If push comes to shove you can use Xpra over dial-up.
Of course the more elegant solution then is to use some virtio based graphics pass-through driver doing all that, without running MIT-SHM screen grabber X11 clients shoving around frames. I want less kludges, not more.

I'm presuming this implies there's already a non-theoretical solution for remote desktop over high bandwidth connections ( say over 10Gbit/sec ) that would allow me to run a spinning cube at 30 frames per second at 4k without frame drops? What is it? I have been looking for one for years! > Of course the more elegant solution then is to use some virtio based graphics pass-through driver doing all that, without running MIT-SHM screen grabber X11 clients shoving around frames. I want less kludges, not more. That would be Looking Glass, but its author's position is (paraphrasing) "Stuff like this already exists for Linux so there's no support for a Linux guest". Alas, no one can point to it.
