While I understand your intents and frustration, it has to be said that one major difference of using Qubes over "other virtualization products" is that its security model is tightly intergrated with guest VMs. This puts some constraints on what and how you run things on the guest systems and in what capacity the Qubes host can intergrate with your guest VM distribution of choice. You should stop thinking of Qubes as an everyday alternative to "run anything anywhere"-virtualization solutions like those you mention, and more lika a framework to help you define and separate your workflow into segmented security domains. If you absolutely need a virtualization solution that runs anything without complaining, Qubes is not the right option for you. Try adapting your workflow/VM usage patterns to the Qubes security model instead of doing the opposite.
