I also believed this for a long time but recently I stumbled upon this https://www.malwarebytes.com/remediationmap/

Obviously this is an anti malware company PR (but please look at the MS Consumer (defender) failed detection rate). This made me research again the AV landscape and then I found this https://fatsecurity.com/tools/test-results-calculator?compan... A website that seems to aggregate a lot of AV independent tests in an easy to use UI.

MS Defender is not really good now. Even free AV are better and have lesser performance impact than Defender (but obviously come with ads, less privacy, etc.).

(I submitted recently the map to start a discussion about it but did not seem to interest anyone)

AV sucks, Defender sucks more, brain behind the keyboard is king.
