Cool that it is now a flatpak

However, I would recommend gnome boxes or virtual manager.

Via flatpak permissions.

Flatpak permissions can give access to pretty much anything, in this case, /dev/kvm.

KVM is only used for the CPU portions

Surely it uses KVM for memory isolation as well.

I guess what you are saying is that VirtualBox is still doing device emulation. If so, we agree.
