Seeing all those OS logos in the corner of each VM makes me think this is enormously inefficient to run on a desktop/laptop

Like... Fedora and Debian? Why?

You don't have to.

But I don't really see how it relates to efficiency however since all are VMs running their own kernel. It doesn't change anything that they are different versions or not.

I'm talking more about the sheer quantity of operating systems running in parallel on one computer.

You only run as many as you want, depending on your compartmentalization strategy. Also, they are typically not all taking 100% CPU simultaneously.
