Cloud Hypervisor has been around for years. It's a very similar Rust codebase to Firecracker (and shares libraries). People use it because it supports PCI passthrough.
These things are a great idea but it turns out they're always a massive pain to actually use. Until container-as-VM is as easy to get as installing docker, not really viable for mainstream use imho.
