MacOS has been virtualizable in x86 since mac-on-x86 was released.
It also is engineered for development. Maybe not your particular type of development. Apple silicon isn't technically development-unfriendly, it's just apple silicon makes it less easy to do x86 development. But so does mips, sparc, ppc, and other architectures.

- Steltek 3y agoDo you understand the limits apple put on virtualization? Are you aware of how it's handled for cloud providers? I didn't say it was technically impossible. I said apple has a history of blocking it.
