resolve runs very reliable on linux virtualization hosts using qemu/kvm and nvida graphic card passtrough.

that's working as well. i use docker container instances to patch and install resolve and generating debian packages based on the actual used files for a more clean installation an final use. this also works like a charm. (...but it didn't figure out how to run resolve in this kind of [nvida-]docker containers)
and you are right, the resolve installer does install some stuff for the panel demon in a quite ugly way outside of /opt/resolve... but beside of this particular issue it just needs some unproblematic entries for USB setup in the system paths...
but in general i agree with you: hardware related drivers and the installation of the main application should be divided as much as possible to minimize installation/removal troubles and allow a save execution in various kinds of jail/container/sandbox/virtualization isolated environments.
that's all linux related. i don't know, if similar workarounds can be realized on the other operating systems as well.
