Partially, it is. The expected lifetime of unprotected Windows machine connected to the Internet is in minutes, and I think there's some fault of Microsoft and Windows in that. And people want a solution to this problem, and when Crowdstrike offers one they take it. The reason "Windows + Crowdstrike" became so omnipresent is because "Windows without Crowdstrike" is too big a risk. It may be not a direct fault but certainly a contribution to the whole situation.

Maybe it you're running Windows XP, but that is absolutely not true for a supported version of Windows. It is absolute FUD to say simply connecting a Windows 10/11 machine to the internet will cause it to be automatically infected.
