> It’s a lot like herd immunity in vaccines.

Yes. But you don't deploy experimental vaccines simultaneously across the entire population all at once. Inoculating an entire country takes months; the logistics incidentally provide protection against unforeseen immediate-term dangerous side effects. Without that delay, well, every now and then you'd kill half the population with a bad vaccine. The equivalent of what's happening now with CrowdStrike.
