If you know anything about how MCAF was organized, or about what GK does at Crowdstrike, the idea that he was in some way involved with MCAF's AV or with the installers/updaters at either company is especially funny.

MCAF was a conglomerate of security products driven by sales of their AV suite, which might as well have been developed on a different planet for all that it mattered to the "security people". Same with SYMC.

He was the CTO, what do you mean he wasn't in any way involved?

People on HN have a very, very strange idea of what a "CTO" does. Kurtz was the CEO of Foundstone when MCAF bought him. Foundstone was not small. The most important skill most CTOs have is identifying themselves as "the CTO" on calls with customer prospects.
