> It seems that M4 chips can’t virtualise any version of macOS before 13.4 Ventura
13.4 was released on May 18, 2023. That's actually not very far into the past.
Anyway, what would be the most common use cases for this? And how common are those?

Case in point: I built a macOS app that implements Google's Nearby/Quick Share (an AirDrop-style file sharing thing on Android). Multiple people tried running it on Catalina and were disappointed that it wanted a newer OS. So I did end up backporting it to Catalina.
Citation? I use Monterey at work and every app I need works on it still.

I've first tried recompiling the Keychain app, but it had too many dependencies that were not trivial to build, so, using an older Mac, in that case, was the easiest way to get the private key from my own keychain.
Macs are the best at virtualizing macs.(look up hackintosh to see how many hoops must be jumped through on non mac hardware)
