No to both. Windows is so broken, it needs kernel-level external software to protect it from attacks that should not be possible in the first place. It is a joke of history that this software was even worse than windows itself.

I see you're operating on a plane of reality where windows is the only bad software, so it's kinda pointless for me to continue here. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Windows is definitely not the only bad software, but for the amount of resources they could spend on quality, it is a rather shitty product. They could do better, but they don't want to.
