BTW, why would Microsoft even need to release an antivirus if they can patch the bugs in the OS the viriuses exploit as soon as they get discovered instead of just adding them to the virus database?

Viruses don't always exploit bugs. Most cryptolockers generally just trick people into executing them, for example.
