I wonder what the additional layer of virtualization changes with respect to this in a project like this one: https://github.com/dockur/macos

A closer comparison here is Lumier, which provides a "Docker-like" interface to spin up VMs with a noVNC server: https://cua.ai/docs/lume/guide/advanced/lumier/docker
