That's great, except there is no way to create a "kids" account without another apple device.
My kids school won't participate in the program to create kids accounts for schools, and I don't own other apple devices. So on my rented ipad, the only option is to create a 13+ year old account (for my kindergartner). So now that she's in 2nd grade, apple thinks she's 16.
I've complained about this endlessly to the school, and talked to a couple lawyers. Apparently there is no legal issue because I have to create the accounts, so they are my accounts. I'm just letting my kid use them.
So... apple sucks, give us a web-ui for creating child accounts. I don't mind having a parent account, but you cannot have family accounts without an Ipad or some other apple device, and a single ipad is a single user device.

You can't just log in to the ipad with a parent account, create a child account, log out, then log back in with the child account?
You should be able to. I did this back-and-forth for over a year before it was easier to change account regions. I'd have a US account and a Canadian account, and would switch between the two to get content from the other side of the border.
You can even sign in to one account for iCloud, and another for the App Store, if you wanted to. The only thing that didn't work were automatic updates; they'd only get downloaded for the iCloud account.
I've never tried to run MacOS on a virtual machine. I'm assuming you can't get a license for that, so it wouldn't be an "official" solution, but do you have a link?
The link has a guide on how to configure virtualbox to run macOS.
They also have some links to the macOS installer, but there are also plenty of torrents around with disk images of macOS.
