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

The problem is paying the hugely inflated prices Broadcom's price gouging renegotiations are demanding, while also finding money to fund migrating off of VMWare for your infrastructure.

A lot of companies out there (Canonical's OpenStack, RH's OpenShift) are so swamped with customers wanting to migrate off of VMWare that they can't keep up, meaning a lot of companies are going to have to keep paying VMWare while they wait in the migration queue.
