Parallels Desktop continues to suck (Serial Number shows as host's)

Serial Number for Parallels Desktop macOS virtual machines match Serial Number of the macOS host.

We know we can manually change the Serial Number for a virtual machine:

Parallels KB: How to change serial number of my virtual machine

Before we start suggesting to our team to edit <SerialNumber></SerialNumber> in /Users/Shared/Parallels/<vmName>.pvm/config.pvs , what are you guys doing to programmatically set a unique Serial Number for your virtual machine?

VMWare Fusion handles this better, as it automatically creates a unique Serial Number for each macOS virtual machine.

Unfortunately we are stuck with crappy Parallels Desktop.
