On Linux, if you're using Docker, then it runs it natively without a VM.
VirtualBox is not "preferred" as much as its the default, because its the easiest to acquire. For example, on Windows 8+, Hyper-V is actually the default for Vagrant because its built in to almost every installation of Windows (Vagrant checks).
Vagrant really just chooses whatever appears to be available on your system.
