Random thought:

I am not sure what the at-scale energy use reduction of this bug fix will be, but...

If I had a pile of money I would consider creating a special bug bounty style program for energy use reduction.

This might be a very efficient way to reduce carbon output from personal and data center computing.

I agree. Windows Defender and Gatekeeper on macOS both have pathological performance characteristics in some cases -- $$$ should act as a good incentive to figure them out.
