Microsoft didn't cause the "disaster" though.
They just made the poor decisions that made CrowdStrike required in the first place.
It exists on OSX and Linux too, they just don't do the thing that took down Windows so they weren't impacted.
Existing and being necessary are two different things. Linux and MacOS are operating systems. Windows is an ad delivery system that masquerades as an operating system.
