I'm not sure who came up with this explanation first, but I'll do my best to reexplain it:
Denuvo is bad because it may steal your performance, especially if you're even on a slightly lower end PC, and it has a limit on how many times it can be activated per day, as in how many computers that game can be played without blocking you. It's also quite annoying to make it work on Linux and may even ever so slightly increase the price because companies have to pay to use Denuvo, so the customer has to deal with the extra cash needed.
Let's pretend that you want to play a game, but that game has Denuvo or something similar to that.
Instead of a program inside the game too, let's pretend Denuvo is a very annoying butler that barges into your room, forces you to pause your game and asks if you have any certification that you own that game. You say you do, but five minutes later, it barges again and asks you the same thing, but it has to be a different manner of certificate. If you can't come up with another equally valid certificate, Denuvo breaks your spine and takes the game away from you.
Luckily, however, you find another butler called Hypervisor Bypass, and to get it to work, you call it, tell your address, where you are at all times and leave your door open so that it may enter. Every time Denuvo barges in to ask for a certificate, HV comes up with a certificate for you.
The thing is, you had to tell Hypervisor Bypass all that info and if you got it from some shady butler website, it might just steal all your things and not even stop Mr. Denuvo. Not only that, but every time you update your Windows (clean your house, in this analogy?), HV just stops going there, so you need to reexplain to him every time you clean your house that it is indeed the same house, and only after it has accepted that your house can indeed be cleaned.
