let's not throw the baby with the bath water.

native desktop apps are absolutely necessary for most professional / serious work and native desktop apps need offline support too.

with cloud - your risk factor goes up massively.

the risk here is that most of these companies are reliant on windows and of course snake-oil salesman of antivirus tools.

if you have a proper native desktop app, that runs in a sandboxed environment then you simply wouldn't need crowdstrike and the likes.

unikernels / bsd jails are things that have been well known and will easily mitigate "security" issues.

even windows these days has sandbox mode.

but incentives rule the world.
