To make money? Just because CrowdStrike is available for Linux and Mac doesn't mean that a) people buy and use it in substantial numbers b) people need to buy it. It would be interesting to hear from someone using CrowdStrike in a Linux/Mac environment.

Had it on my Mac a few years back and my long-lasting memory of it was how it:

a) slowed down the performance of my machine to a crawl in a NodeJS project

b) had my laptop fans spinning at full blast 24/7, even waking up the laptop overnight to do it

It was purely for compliance, but I also got the impression that it was a bloated enterprise solution for the problem.

We run Crowdstrike on Linux and Macs so that we can tick some compliance checkbox.

Fun fact: they’ve recommended we don’t install the latest kernel updates since they usually lag a bit with support. We’re running Ubuntu LTS, not some bleeding edge arch. It now supports using ebpf so it’s somewhat better.

CS installed on my managed Mac. Generally no problems except randomly network stops working. Fixed by waiting.
