I don't know much about PC I/O schemes, so I can only speculate that they chose an I/O model that allows VMWare to intercept all requests, data transfers, and interrupts. Any I/O solution that gave one virtual machine the ability to intentionally, accidentally or maliciously cause the I/O subsystem to read or write data from or to another virtual machine would be a Bad Thing.
