Why do you think this is BS? It perfectly explains the name and also why something like this is installed so ubiquitously and still installed despite such a massive screw up. Also offensive capabilities need wide deployment just as much as defensive. Cybersecurity and cyberwar is a real thing, and surely DDOS botnets are a core part of that.
Maybe it's controlled by the CIA, or maybe just has a quiet contract with USCYBERCOM and/or ARCCYBER.
I mean, people don't seem that concerned about all of the nuclear missiles and submarines, aircraft carriers, and US military bases everywhere. Computers and the internet are now part of that and have been for quite awhile. If you are invested in this system then you probably want that dominance to continue (otherwise you should probably start learning Chinese). In which case we probably need something like a "crowd strike" widely deployed on the monopoly OS so that we have offensive capabilities.
If you don't like that idea then why use Windows at all? Use Linux at least.
I don't think this is really conspiracy theory territory unless you are in denial that cyberwarfare exists or that the US must participate in it.
