Thing thing uses RDP for communication which was designed for remotely administering servers over low speed networks.
VirtualBox in contrast integrates at the driver level, and allows you to share the underlying GPU buffers, giving you a native experience that works for things like games or heavy apps. It integrates the Linux filesystem on a driver level as well.
That's just progress. Things that used to be hard become easy. Things that used to be impossible become hard.
Hard things become easy when for example it becomes feasible to connect to RDP instead of mucking about at the driver level.
It will be more reliable but less performant.
