The fact that one cannot dynamically reconfigure after boot time is a red herring. One can still modify the virtual machine's configuration. And even if one could not modify it, it would still have a (fake) hardware configuration that would need to be obtained in some way. Indeed, real machines are in the latter category. One cannot dynamically reconfigure the (so-called) system devices of real machines after power-on. (Indeed, one cannot reconfigure several of them with the power off, they being integral to the motherboard.) But they're there. They exist and their existence and configuration has to be obtained.
