If I had to guess, I'd say that MacOS GAs are a low priority for paying customers (i.e. business customers), as those will generally want a Windows lifeline on their Macs.

To add to the table in the first post - thanks to help from this thread viewtopic.php?f=22&t=95286 I was able to successfully install the GAs on my 10.14 Mojave VM, and can report that the shared clipboard works. This is VirtualBox 6.1.22 running on host MacOS 11.3 Big Sur.
Installing GAs on my 10.15 Catalina VM fails - there's a separate thread about this viewtopic.php?f=22&t=98686
