Did he say he was using it on untrusted hardware he didn't own? I saw it as something he can run wherever he wants without having to migrate configs and data.

I saw it as something he can run wherever he wants without having to migrate configs and data. Like you are flying in a different country, go to a store, buy a computer, start an hypervisor and you are done.
I would still reinstall first that new computer with an OS of my choice, but an extension of his method could be to have that qemu image stored on a liveusb that already has qemu installed. Maybe that is what he does.
