I feel like those who have the overall decision on the direction of Windows, do not use it, because the OS is filled with many own goals that make it worse compared to macOS (e.g. ads, no atomic updates, constant app changes)

The issue could of easily happened on Linux too (in-fact a similar issue did).

Linux did implement an API for safely instrumenting these types of events, eBPF.

Many EDR and other security products are beginning to use it, although IIRC Crowdstrike does not yet.
