This isn't just VirtualBox. It's VirtualBox with a KVM back end. So you get the performance of KVM, but with a much better GUI than virt-manager.

I found virtual box so much more confusing than virt manager TBH. Also there is GNOME boxes which is just a pleasure for spinning up quick uncomplicated VMs

You're a different kind of VM enjoyer than me, and that's okay 😎 I'm glad GNOME Boxes and virt-manager are getting the job done for you. I'm okay with the latter, but I think it needs some love, which is why I'm eager to see alternative frontend options.
