Wait till you learn about finance, or oil and gas, or mining, or countless other legacy industries that quietly run America since the Rockefeller days. Many parts of Texas lost power for weeks due to Beryl and all the power companies got was a slap on the wrist (despite being explicitly warned about this scenario many times).

You would not want for a sympathetic ear if you also criticized these companies. The point is not that CrowdStrike is uniquely incompetent, not at all. Every critical organization needs to be held to a higher standard, not just incompetent security firms.

Hell look at Grenfell in London! 72 people died and the people that designed it wanted immunity from prosecution to testify at the inquiry! Similar buildings are charging the cost of upgrading the cladding to residents instead of doing the right thing and eating the cost themselves.

Companies are too easy a target...
What were the regulatory incentives? Was the electricity market designed to encourage resiliency?
There was a systematic fault - it needed a collective solution not one that relies on individual companies doing the right thing???
