Oh FFS. I love this era where companies will not accept the blame due to "liability", even when they are explicitly to blame.

We all hate Microsoft for turning Windows into an ad platform but they aren't wrong.

They are legally required to give Crowdstrike or anyone complete low level access to the OS. They are legally required to let Crowdstrike crash your computer. Because anything else means Microsoft is in control and not the software you installed.

It's no different than Linux in that way. If you install a buggy device driver on Linux, that's your/the driver's fault, not Linux.
