That is was a Crowdstike issue not a Windows issue. They have borked Linux updates as well. Microsoft has had their far share of bad updates but none of them were outage level assuming companies properly tested updates.

A lot of these large companies are terrible at multiple levels. It is great to pay premium dollar for junk.

From my understanding, it's true that CrowdStrike wrote the faulty code and submitted it to Microsoft. Microsoft shares blame in that they didn't properly vet and test the kernel-level patch CrowdStrike had submitted.

Microsoft doesn't vet the code. All code is required to be signed but that is it.

Yep, my org had a Falcon sensor outage take out tens of thousands of Linux servers. Fuck Crowdstrike. Also, fuck Windows and fuck Microsoft.
