This looks like it's just running Linux VMs as a guest in macOS, right? Was that not already possible on macOS, or just not possible on the M1/M2 chips?

You can attach a GUI to the VM now.

It was not possible on M1/M2 chips (aside from a commercial solution, Parallels, which is €99.99/yr).

Nope, it was possible and the API is open for anyone to use. UTM (open source, $10 for a built product) supports it.
