Yes, I’m not an Epic engineer, and I hear you that you feel you want an answer from Epic. I’m not providing that.
However, I am getting something out of this: I’m learning more about your viewpoint, by contrasting it with mine, and trying to figure out if there’s something I’m missing that should make me change my viewpoint.
And (perhaps subtly) I’m suggesting that there may be viewpoints that think this is less of a priority, and thus might not be surprised if this issue never bubbles to the top.
Meanwhile, I, too, live in a world where working 3D virtualization would be great.
Even the least bad of the bunch when it comes to desktop systems (VMWare Workstation) is pretty terrible along this axis. Going Linux-only and using containers for virtualization (where devices can be bound cross-container) may be the least bad option.
So, if anyone tries out something new, and it works well, I’d love to hear about it!
