yes (it's a spin) also e.g. on Linux Falcon could have conceptual created the same kind of driver as for windows but opted to use eBPF

for a lot of things on Windows there isn't anything like eBPF (yet, it's wip, but likely will still take quite a while until it's usable)

the EU spin would only work if CrowdStrict is fully incompetent like a lot of people want you to believe. I.e. they don't do any testing, don't do any config validation and doesn't know what they are doing at all

but that simply isn't true at all

This doesn't mean that they didn't act negligent, as far as we can tell they relied on some data format validation instead by their server + signing (or something similar) instead of _also_ having robust parsing and that is enough against best practices to be called negligent. And there were other points which bubbled up in the last week which point to other negligent behavior unrelated to the bug. But company ending up with some negligent behavior and them being fully incompetent are very far away, let's be honest most IT companies today have ended up with some negligent behavior they have lite direct/short term/fast feedback motivation to fix (hence it doesn't happen)
