Why do you people love over-engineering and bad architectures so much? Do you have any sense of engineering beauty? Modern CPUs already run every application in an isolated sandbox under "protected mode". There is no need to emulate a machine with hardware devices, run a separate kernel, drivers and services. The only problem is that the OS kernel and privileged system services usually grant too much ways to bypass the sandbox. So the proper architecture would be to re-design and fix the existing OS instead of using ugly hacks like VM.
I also use VM to run code editors and AI. One must be crazy to run third-party software (including package managers like npm) unrestricted. The overhead is significant, and VS Code UI is lagging heavily without a GPU.
