This is one of thise silly things I see only among those with just enough knowledge to shoot their own feet.

The amount malware I see stopped by defender alone is very significant. Just write mediocre malware and send email , 10-15% infection rate. Checkout the loot the emoter gang had accumulated when they got raided or any if the ransomware gangs.

A little learning does much harm!

Most people don't run Linux (Aand most Linux desktop users don't harden). I mean, I could be very lazy and make bank without AVs on windows or Mac.

Speaking to you as someone who only discovered several serious intrusions after every layer of security was defeated except defender complained!
