That's a pretty broad statement and I really don't think that holds
true across the board, nor see why it should.  People can choose to use
virtualization for a variety of reasons and may not have the luxuries
you seem to be taking for granted.  I've certainly seen virtualization
configurations deployed in circumstances that were CPU-rich, so to
speak, but I/O poor.  For a lot of tasks, this will not matter.
