It's about control. If they would allow virtualization then some people would use that to run software Apple can't control, especially not monetize.
It is no different than Windows Home, Professional, Workstation, Enterprise, Nano, Server,....
Well, Windows is also user-hostile and engages in control tactics.

Nested virtualization would be needed if you want to test out a Windows VM with the various Hyper-V integrations like WSL2, credential guard, etc.

Here, https://www.samsung.com/us/apps/dex/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface Vote with your wallet, if enough people do that, maybe Apple will notice. Now if you already validated what they are selling is enough to keep the masses happy, then it is as it is.
The number of people who are willing and able to “vote with their wallet” for alternative OSes on iPad is insufficient for results.
The vast, vast majority of iPad users want iPadOS and nothing else.
Hope is not a strategy.

Running an older version of macOS, which supports older versions of Xcode and then using that to run older iOS simulators.

eWaste? What are you talking about? iPads have typically gotten 7-9 years of software updates. Its not intended to be like a direct laptop replacement. Sure you can do laptop like things but that is not what the iPad is. Even then, most laptops don't even get that kind of support. Calling the iPad "eWaste World Champion" reeks of ignorance about what the device is about.
Instead it really is a unique device with unique use cases as evidenced by todays keynote. Did you watch it? I came away impressed with the cool things they developed just for the iPad.

Windows Server is actually quite tightly controlled licensing wise.
Any client user/device using any service on the server requires a client access licence (CAL).

With the EU now going centre-right (and largely at the expense of Greens) their long-standing stance on eWaste (and similar consumer-oriented regulation) is likely to be casualty.
