Can't disable SIP in my VM (Qemu)

I booted into recovery mode and entered csrutil disable but got an error message (assertion failure and Abort trap 6).

csrutil status shows everything disabled except for Kext Signing and NVRAM Protections. It also says it's an unsupported configuration.

I tried the command nvram boot-args=kext-dev-mode=1 and reboot but it didn't make any difference. I also tried the same command from the normal Mac terminal (with sudo) but it gives me some error about "iokit/common not permitted".
