At Ring 3 it would crash an app, not the entire OS.

Yes, the kernel is fine and is not to blame. But running basically a rootkit controlled by a third party indeed is to blame.

That's still an outage for those key systems.

It is an outage for the monitoring system, not the system that it monitors.

I think a reasonable protocol is to stop using any apps when your cyber protection crashes. Why have that suite at all otherwise?

[nequo]

I agree for some systems. For others, stopping the system has bigger consequences than not having cyber protection for a few hours because of a bug that’ll get fixed. For example, hospitals, or possibly Delta Airlines.
