Except you need to modify every host OS to add a userland bridge from 
the kernel to userspace in the file subsystem, in order to then 
implement the file system in userland.
Not to mention that not all systems easily even allows such a construct.

Or are you suggesting that you would implement (in Linux or whatever) a 
userland implementation for each file system you might have on every 
simulated system? That can also become very interesting, as some file 
systems have properties that Unix do not have, so exposing this in Unix 
would be rather magic. Not to mention complex.

I seriously think people are trying solve the wrong problem, as well as 
not really understanding what the problems and issues are.
