everything is a hypervisor these days so I'm not seeing a problem for anyone who isn't Broadcom.

The Fortune 500 have 20 years of tooling, people, configs, setup etc in VmWare. It is a big deal for them to switch, it's also a big deal for them to pay 10x.

Including [many of] the big corps. However if it takes 5 years to migrate and your current contract is for 3 more years that leaves 2 years of higher prices.
