That's just ridiculous. At least compare mechanized modes of 
transportation - anything else is arguing in bad faith.


Are mainframe-based virtual machines also "artificial complexity" as the
OP stated?

Yes or no, the answer is the same for Linux based VMs.

For most of the world, absolutely yes.

Good for you and bless your heart.

So acquire access to a mainframe and run whatever guests you want, 
what's the problem?


Meanwhile, Linux VMs run countless systems, probably millions, and they 
do the job better than the alternatives of bare metal or mainframes.

And there's Docker for those wanting more lightweight containers.



Meanwhile, the purists who require "run anything in VM or the VM sucks" 
can continue to host their stuff on mainframes, clearly a popular option.
