>but it's only on Windows where these suites are considered essential.

They're "considered essential" for all corporate machines for compliance and CYA reasons. If you're the CISO/CTO and a hack occurred on your watch, do you really want to be the one telling the board that you didn't need EDR on your linux machines because linux is secure?

It's a culture that has grown up around a dominant platform that had little or no security built in. Where I work, Windows is heavily locked down with all sorts of security junk on it, but iOS gets by with minimal MDM.
