RE: Virgin Melt
In many cases the only sources for some of the elements is ferroaloys and in some cases even certified master alloys.
I would see this as restricting the use of revert (scrap and risers) that had previously been cast.
If I had to work from pure metals only then it would not be possible to melt, as some metals are not commercially available in high purity (Fe), and my results would be inferior.

For example: We have to pour Inconel 713C from virgin material means we have to purchase Inconel 713C rods from our supplier which have certified chemical composition. No other intake can be added into the melt!
RE: Virgin Melt
In a country like India, there are no producers of certified alloys in stainless steel and nickel rich alloys. Thus most often, whenever such a need arises, the only way is to use pure metals. For pure iron, I have used briquettes from Hoganas, at time from lab chemical suppliers for a few metals. It has always been a difficult route for small foundries, who do not have any means of metal refining.

We could then use this clean homogenous material to make premium heats.
Yes, it can be a pain, and a clear definition does depend on who/where you are.
