This problem has been solved but much like our bigger and faster computers efficency takes a back seat for MORE. Just throw MORE at it and the problem is solved. It's a failure of tech, capitalism, and the environment.
Macs are the best at virtualizing macs.(look up hackintosh to see how many hoops must be jumped through on non mac hardware)
In corporate politics there is only one thing that 'wins' and that is profitability. That profitability comes from the workforce so the top leaders are usually very motivated, democratic people because the best ideas win and you need people on your side.

I feel like an idiot because I see the same behavior with the variable 'not in my organization' with transport rules and how many false positives I've had.

The most recent example of this is people complaining about plastic straws whilst private jet use in unabated.
If you operate in 1% space of wealth there are and should be risks. Making everything the lowest common denominator literally leaves us with Camacho for president.
