I don't understand, how could crowdstrike have avoided their issues by putting more code in the kernel? Or am I misreading your statement?

The crash was caused by a data parsing issue for the code in the kernel (the heuristics database).

If they had not tried to parse data inside the kernel it would not have been an issue.
