I consider it a valid classification, but it looks like you're making assumptions that one type is "better". Your own observations disprove that. Side note: I swore that KVM was type 1. It's inside the kernel itself so it can reallocate hardware to/from guests and the host. And it's not a separate program like Virtualbox.

this is another reason to dislike this classification, it's not clear enough. KVM can be defined as type 1 or type 2, depending on what you think matters. They do mention in wikipedia page on Hypervisor -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor
