Ah so it's a linux problem when the gpu driver causes instability, cause NVidia is making a shitty and proprietary linux driver and the market share is too small to warrant putting more effort in. Linux doesn't have it's own fully-featured graphics driver, so that company has to come in and provide their own since linux can't supply it. And mistakes happen. Roughly the same logic.

That's not linux fault. Neither is it Microsofts fault when a company selling a security product decides it has to run in kernel mode and then they don't properly test a release and just decide to yolo it.

Yes. You're right. All OSs have their faults. But this is one of window's faults.

But this is a Microsoft problem mostly because all the news reports are saying it is.

Anyone in Microsoft sales or marketing is going to have a tough time for a while.

You know the kind of companies that do this nonsense on windows have the same incentives and give the same access to third party "security" tools on Linux?

Windows sucks. But the fact that it's windows they broke is dumb luck.
