The hypervisor analogy is silly IMO, because it assumes 'hardware assisted virtualization', i.e. that the simulated matter/instructions are implemented simply by using real matter/instructions in their normal way, but in a controlled environment.
For the general case of virtualization, breaking out of the simulation would be as impossible for us as it would be for a video game character.
