My thoughts:
I run FreeDOS in a virtual machine. That's probably the easiest way
for most people to run FreeDOS today. (Obviously everyone is
different, especially for those who prefer to run on actual hardware -
but I'm talking about "most people" here.)
I use QEMU and VirtualBox to boot FreeDOS. I find I get better
performance in VirtualBox for some things, and better performance in
QEMU for some other things. I think QEMU provides better hardware
emulation - for example, VirtualBox doesn't emulate the PC speaker,
while QEMU does.
Hyper-V is Micro$oft's internal/"native" hypervisor/virtual machine,
that comes in a number of higher end Windows 10+/Windows Server versions
by default (at least in a limited #of concurrent guests version).
It is just like a lot of Microsoft products very "MIcrosoft centric", so
compatibility with something older like DOS might be limited. I
personally just have never bother to play with it for all those years...
