“No one noticed” ... perhaps because hardly anybody is using these
sorts of intrusive EDR products on Linux?

Another thing that reduces the chance of screwups: a poster in another
group gave this link to a comment by long-time Linux contributor
Matthew Garrett: on Windows, CrowdStrike has to load its own
proprietary kernel driver to do its anti-malware checks, but on Linux
they just rely on the standard configurable EBPF facility. This helps
to reduce the chance of things going wrong.
