An OS should not have to require a 3rd party driver for security.

Microsoft should be writing that driver as an OS component. Drivers should be restricted for taking to hardware.

I thought only people who subscribed to CrowdStrike's services had that driver installed.

That is true. The issue is that because there are so many permission escalation issues in windows, that many anti malware products must run as kernel drivers.
