What do you mean when you say 'everything runs on hypervisors'?

That may be true in the datacentre and the cloud.

Well, it's of course a slight exaggeration, but our desktop computers have had hardware support for virtualization for a long time now. Even our GPUs are getting hardware support for virtualization. Does it really have to be a problem any more that "your operating system has no drivers for this thing"?

But something like this lives in the hobbyist space where (I think) bare metal is still king.
