> Nearly anyone with a corporate issued Mac.
Nope. Worked corporate and the only Mac users with Parallels were devs, and only those who worked on cross platform software.

Also, nope. Docker and Kubernetes both run atop VMs and Docker adoption is quite large in web development.

I'm sure there are some businesses that run that way, but again, I just escaped corporate life. The folks who had to run Windows apps were just given Windows computers. I'm sure there are some companies where everyone has the option and they run virtualization as you suggest, but I haven't seen any evidence it's anywhere near as ubiquitous in corporations as you suggest.
