Thank you so much for the reply; it at least helps me understand why things are the way they are. VirtualBox's own docs have said since some 5.x version that it's compatible alongside Hyper-V. However, we've had developers on the latest 5.x as well as 6.x of VirtualBox, and the bugs that appear are out-of-this-world impossible to debug. Basically, running VirtualBox with Hyper-V enabled on a Windows host will appear to work at first, but you'll very quickly run into some random weird bug (often related to networking) that cannot even be Googled because it's a unique one-time error that seems to occur purely because of which cpu instruction was being executed during a particular nanosecond.
So even WSL2 will not help us, unless we can migrate all VirtualBox boxes to Docker or native Hyper-V. Sigh. Fuck companies who produce software purely for Linux servers, who force their developers to work on Windows machines because of ActiveDirectory, and their relationship with kissing Dell's ass for hardware I could piece together from a garbage dump.
