Back in 2006 Microsoft tried to keep 3rd party vendors out of their ecosystem. <https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2006/10/7998/> As a result of a complaint to the EU Microsoft was required to let them have kernel access. <https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/22/windows_crowdstrike_k...>

Microsoft was required to let them have the same access their own software used. Which seems fair to me. Microsoft can remove those APIs entirely, they just can't restrict them.
