I agree with you, and kind of even agree that crowdstrike may not directly be at fault. But my point is that this competency is bled out of hospitals by external forces, primarily two: distant administration from companies that buy and manage multiple hospitals, often applying the same "efficiency" mindset that stripmines other industries in the name of profit, and the cloudtech sector, that is Google, Amazon, and Microsoft in particular, are very aggressive about selling their services along with demands that everything be given to their platforms, which often involves purging technicians who want on-site redundancy. This makes the systems more brittle, but also often causes people with the competency you're advocating to be fired
