A better comparison would be an iPhone. Apple has locked that down so much that it's impossible to install something like CrowdStrike falcon, thus it's not possible for something like this to happen.
Microsoft is saying if the EU would let them, they too could lock down their platform enough to prevent this from happening.
However, I would prefer to maintain control over my device and do what I want with it, instead of just what Apple/Microsoft want; even if that means I might break my device.
