CS needs some hardcore permissions to scan items on a VERY low level. So they can essentially push out shit code to screw up any OS. Including Mac and Linux. Don't see how MS/Windows are to blame for someone not testing a content update before pushing to the whole damn world. They should at least push out to a subset of users before destroying everyone's Friday!

I think this is a cultural issue with the Windows world. Look at Projects like ssh and git, who exist for both, but on Windows, they get shipped without documentation. Not even for the Windows-specific things. Want to know where to put your GlobalKnownHosts on Windows? F** you.
Isn’t that better explained by the fact that neither were created with Windows in mind?

git was literally created to develop Linux.
