The Hyper-V hypervisor is obviously running. I don't remember the corresponding name in the optional components.
The complete Hyper-V suit you use to manually create and run VM does not need to be installed by default, but that's irrelevant. Windows provides more and more features that relies on the hypervisor, e.g. Windows Sandbox, Edge Protected Mode, Credential Guard, etc.
Those features (and WSL2) are not available when you are not running under the hypervisor.
MS also provides an API so that third party VM tools can run, and Virtual Box can use it, but still recently it had tons of issues. Maybe the situation is somehow better now, I don't know. I don't think this is an option with VMWare though.

So it's not optimal [1]. VMWare has a tech preview of the next version of Workstation which should work with the new Windows 2004 [2] [1] https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=470529#p470529 https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=470529#p470529 [2] https://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2020/01/vmware-workstation-tech-preview-20h1.html https://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2020/01/vmware-workstat...
