Technically possible for Hyper-V does not mean that Microsoft has made a programming interface available to do so from a programming point of view.
From what I understand so far, that is what is holding back VMware from having this feature. Without MS exposing this, VMware cannot provide it. It's a chicken & the egg problem.
AFAIK, there is no nested virtualisation possible when going through the Windows Hypervisor Platform API's, only when using VMware's hypervisor or -like you say- using Hyper-V itself directly.
Perhaps this has changed with the new Workstation Tech Preview, but I've not read anything about that so far.
