As long as you abide by the Apple Bug Bounty rules, you can conduct security research on Apple systems and are entitled to Safe Harbor. Apple Pay's upwards of 100k for bugs!

So long as the host system is Apple hardware, it's perfectly kosher. I ran Fedora on a mac mini for years. If not, it's the same as a hackintosh - a violation of the license.

You can run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software
within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is
already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during
software development; (c) using macOS Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use.

Note that many countries reasonably outlaw the "running on Apple hardware" part, bot you still require a valid license

If you own a mac. You own a copy of OSX. It doesn't matter if you visualize it or not as long as you're officially a licensed customer and agreed to the TOS. If you never did any of that, then you're violating terms.

and you can buy an unbundled license from apple...
