I feel like this is a really serious misunderstanding of storage and just "systems" in general. Am I crazy? He seems to have no concept of the resulting system, he sees it as just the underlying parts, not a system on its own.

I was actually consulting on a backup design just yesterday where we were using Hyper-V in exactly this way as a backup target, but building the backup system using Starwind. It was a backup device in every way, no expectation of VMs to run there, no live systems ever, just Hyper-V + Starwind used to handle the replica-based file backups.
That's a good setup if you need HA/FT backups and there is a particular requirement to always be able to recover. We have a similar configuration using free version https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san-free on top of two decommissioned DELL servers packed with drives and SMB share as VEEAM repository on top. Works like a charm.

A SAN (actually a DAS) and three servers for.... FIVE VMs, but doesn't have a backup server and doesn't know how to take backups.

And it's a Lenovo, too!

@scottalanmiller I kind of don't blame companies for going Lenovo. State contracts hold the biggest money for MSP's for the most part. in NJ (my state) each of the companies licensed to sell to the state can only have a maximum of 17 resellers. Lenovo is sometimes you're only option.
The government essentially forces you to partner with a shittier company if you want to do business with them.

So individual states are ignoring the Department of Defense purge of Lenovo from their network, in addition to knowingly loosing control of their network: https://travisdh1.net/lenovo. Wish this stuff would be a surprise, but it's really not at this point.
