But the blame wasn't misplaced before. People keep saying that macOS does things better by forcing third parties out of the kernel and instead offering APIs to do the same work in userspace. Microsoft tried to do exactly this for security software in Windows, but the EU didn't like that this change meant that any Microsoft-developed solutions would have an advantage over third party ones.

Microsoft was prevented because they wanted to retain a commercial business in their security products having special access while locking out everyone else.
