You wouldn't want to live to see the day when the same situation happens on Linux servers.

Not only it already happened, the world hardly noticed as the systems got affected, given the lack of relevance on the affected systems.

Noone noticed because most Linux servers does not run Crowdstrike Falcon. If the same number of Linux servers as Windows servers were affected, most of the Internet would have been down.
Crowdstrike is not relevant on Linux systems. don’t get it confused.

The AWS stats are very clear, Microsoft is way behind in the server world.

Crowdstrike literally disrupted Linux systems this year. Are you arguing that it isn't widely deployed enough to be relevant?
