Well for accessibility, that is for the visually impaired to use Chirp, they
will need a Linux using Python 2X, and an old Chirp that will install into it.
Personally, I've not ever gotten a package of Chirp to be able to install right
from downloading a Linux package, I rely on using apt to get Chirp from a
repository.
I had to follow step by step instruction to get Chirp to install into a newer
Linux with Python 3, and I found after all that that flatpak breaks
accessibility.
So rather than putting someone through all that, I'm sure there are folks who
would gladly download a big file that they can rite to a drive and boot it up
and have Chirp working.

Shipping a complete Ubuntu installation in a VM just to have CHIRP
pre-installed seems a bit of over-kill. Typically a single line command would
install CHIRP, wouldn't it?
CHIRP is 20-40 megabytes, a full GUI install of Ubuntu is measured in gigabytes.

Yes, installing a 3rd party package (Chirp) and distributing a VM image of it
can be considered 'modification'.

Well if it is the only someone can use Chirp, either for accessibility, or
because of operating system, I see nothing wrong with it.
I may DD my thumb drive with Ubuntu and Chirp on it, if I can find a drive
with just that on it, and give a link to anyone who wants it.
Some of my thumb drives are multiboot, with several operating systems on
it, so I'll need to go through a bunch of them to find one that has Ubuntu 18
and Chirp.

I can't imagine anyone here wants to be responsible for setting up,
distributing, and supporting a VM image of what is now outdated and no longer
supported software. I know I wouldn't want to be. There's a reason the software
is outdated, the best solution is to keep up.

What would be handy is to have a VM of Ubuntu with the old Chirp already
installed, so that can be implemented.
I am sure I have an old Ubuntu Live on a thumb drive with Chirp on it,
but I don't know if that can be made into a VM.
