There are people that use public clouds^Wsurveliance platforms. Why do
they prefer these platforms over kvm on their own machines is another
question. But, it is their choice and their right to use whatever
platform they'd like. I've only suggested to provide them with ability
to use nested virtualizatoin on their platform...

For instance, you can run several exact copies of OpenStack deployment
on Amazon EC2 :-)
