It's not just Crowdstrike, it's all up and down the software and hardware supply chain.
It's that so many people are on Azure - which is a defacto monopoly for people using Microsoft stack - which is a defacto monopoly for people using .Net
And if they're doing that, the clients are on Windows as well, and probably also running Crowdstrike. The AD servers that you need to get around Bitlocker to automatically restore a machine are on Azure, running Windows, running Crowdstrike. The VM image storage? Same. This is basically a "rebuild the world from scratch" exercise to some greater or lesser degree. I hope some of the admins have non-windows machines.
How come AWS sometimes has even better tooling for .NET than Azure, while JetBrains offers better IDE on Linux, macOS and, depending on your taste, Windows than Microsoft? Or, for some reason, the most popular deployment target is just a container that is vendor-agnostic? Surely I must be missing something you don't.
All of that is absolutely true and in no way affects the behavior at hand. Big companies go with whoever sells them the best, not any kind of actual technical evaluation.
