I'm aware of the point you're trying to make with the microwave. I'm making another analogy; one you're not getting. And either way, yes, I think you should be able to change the software on the microwave. It is your microwave. Do whatever you want with it. Why should Samsung or GE have the right to say what you can or cannot do with the things you own?

If we want to talk microwaves, Microsoft is the microwave manufacturer. Users installing CrowdStrike are people sticking a giant ball of foil and paper towels in the microwave and turning it on for an hour. You're arguing Microsoft is liable for the things people stick in their microwaves, and that Microsoft should put in place guards to prevent people from putting whatever they want in their own microwaves. That Microsoft should control the things people put in their microwaves. Only Microsoft tested and Microsoft approved foods in Microsoft microwaves. And the microwave needs to ensure only the proper cook time applies to the properly signed food products to make sure it doesn't get burnt. Sorry, Microsoft hasn't fully validated Red Gold potatoes, it can only cook Russet potatoes.

That is the same logic as Microsoft is liable for the third-party software people install on Windows machines and that Microsoft shouldn't have allowed the third-party software to run.

Why should Microsoft be able to say what antivirus software I choose to install or not? Why should Microsoft be able to say what browser I install? If I install some software that breaks my Windows machine, is that the faut of Microsoft or the fault of the software maker? If I stick foil in the microwave is the ensuing fire GE's fault?
