  From what you wrote seem that ESXi is more similar to Xen than to

If you look at what is available and what it is used for then you will
see that what is labeled type 1 is used for production and what is
labeled type 2 is used for development. It matters.

 No, that has nothing to do with it.

Yes. It has.
The question was whether the type 1 vs type 2 distinction is obsolete.
The fact that "what is labeled type 1 is used for production and what is
labeled type 2 is used for development" proves that people think it
matters.
So either almost everybody is wrong or it matters.
