The problem is that even knowing that this likely to happen many companies would still put CrowdStrike into a critical system for the sake of security compliance / audit. And it's not even prioritization of security over reliability because incentives are to care more about check-boxes in the audit report than about the actual security. Looks like almost no party in this tragic incident had a strong incentive to prevent it so it's likely to happen again.
