Windows services have a restart if I crash mode, why wouldn’t that be used instead. This seems about making sure the user can’t stop it from starting

It's a huge pain on the ass to setup right. Soft faults where the process is still running but is deadlocked don't get restarted for instance.

Same problem if you write your own supervisor except you are writing a process supervisor

Well, no, because you can write your supervisor in a way that does protect against that. In fact that's hat they're doing here.
