I don’t think the Linux culture is very similar to the windows culture. At least for me personally, I wouldn’t use crowdstrike and let them install whatever they want into my environment.
It’s not your machine, your choice of distro, or your choice of specific packages to use or not use. It’s a work tool you get handed as part of a job. So whether CrowdStrike runs on it or not is not your decision and you aren’t allowed (and usually not capable) to change that.
That’s an entirely different situation from one where you get a PC to do with as you please and set up yourself, or a private machine.
Plus we’re mostly talking endpoint devices for non-technical users with many of these difficult-to-fix devices as techs have to drive out to them. The users expect a tool, and they get a tool. A Linux would be customized and utterly locked down, and part of that would be the endpoint protection software.
