You are missing a *very* important point in your guide.

VirtualBox is FOSS and can be run without restrictions anywhere. The
VirtualBox Extension Pack is *not* FOSS and must be licensed. If used
in a commercial or business setting, you have to pay for it. It's not
that cheap and for multiple users it can be significant.

USB 2 and higher need the extension pack. Only USB 1 can be used for free.
