The use of cross-platform virtualization allows developers to create a virtual machine running Windows on their existing Mac/Apple hardware. This enables them to develop and test their application in an environment that is consistent with the end user's operating system without the need for additional physical hardware. Cross-platform virtualization is a common use case for virtual machines, providing a cost-effective and flexible solution for software development challenges.
