Yes, apparently kexts will not be supported anymore in Apple OS's. 7.0 is supposed to be kext-free.

If any previous versions of VitualBox weren't completely uninstalled prior to the installation of Version 7.0.0/7.0.2 then previously installed KEXTs could well have been left behind, which could explain why the warning message is still produced. The KEXT incompatibility will come with macOS 13 (Ventura) if/when the OS is upgraded.
