I know spice and virtio exists but the support for GPUs is a hit or miss and good luck trying to make it work on iGPU, without 3d support it's pretty slow even on basic desktop usage.

I imagine it's about use-case.

I have no concern about desktop performance, and frankly virtual box is such a dog all the time that anything else is faster.

VMware now uses KVM for it's desktop virtualization, which is definitely better than VirtualBox. Even old VMware Workstation on Windows is far better than VirtualBox.
