Running a VM would imply dealing with VFIO. For a recently converted casual Linux gamer it's better for them to dual boot than deal with that headache.
I get your point in dual boot being less of a headache, but learning some libvirt/qemu and running your own virtual machines is a lot of fun.
I went for a virtual Fedora Workstation with VFIO and a dummy plug. Then I use Sunshine/Moonlight to stream my gaming session to whichever device I feel like using.
Anytime I wanna try something I feel might crash my Fedora I simply backup the virtual machine files and go to town on it.
If I fail I roll back and try again.
I run my servers the same way, as virtual machines that I can easily backup and experiment with, and I do think it makes learning a lot quicker.
It is, I'm not knocking out the usefulness of the tech. I'm thinking more about how convenient it is for the average gamer vs. dual booting
