This almost reads like Defender makes machines less secure on purpose.

Makes me wonder: Does windows Defender just double as another deliberate NSA backdoor?

Why would Microsoft need to put a NSA backdoor specifically into Defender when it could put it anywhere else into Windows with their monthly patch? It doesn't make sense to single out Defender.

The same is valid for Apple, Google, and every other US company.

Pretty sure Defender is one of the few anti malware/edr that doesn’t need to do this, because it’s so tied to the platform. 3rd party antimalware and EDR are much more likely to inject hooks and dlls into other processes
