I'd have to say - if you think VMware is delivering only virtualization to their customers then you probably haven't looked at their portfolio as of recent. They have over 60 unique products that target many different areas of compute in the enterprise. Gelsinger is generally attributed for keeping VMware relevant. Not everybody is a consumer of a hyperscaler and some customers want extended enterprise functionality for virtualized (VM and containers) environments.
