There is no learning, companies just move to different antivirus. The new hotness, the cycle repeats over and over until the new antivirus does this same shit. Look at McAfee in 2010, in fact the CEO of Crowdstrike was the CTO of McAfee then. That easily took down millions of windows XP machines.
The hero of Linux adoption then. All hail - what's the name of that guy?
This isn't the Windows L you think it is. This can and has happened on Linux. It's a Crowdstrike/Bad corp IT issue.
I know, but the whole culture of using such things is Windows-centered.
