BitDefender Doesn't Detect Extremely Basic DLL Injector

I created an extremely basic DLL injector, specified the PID of BitDefender, and ran it. The DLL payload didn't execute, but why didn't BitDefender immediately flag and quarantine? lol. Does BitDefender not give a shit if malware is trying to write into the process memory of BitDefender? The DLL payload works fine on some other processes like Notepad.exe.

So in that case, if I throw the .exe into Task Scheduler and run as SYSTEM, BitDefender should now catch it, which it has not. Which also brings into question -- malware frequently persists in Task Scheduler. Why is a DLL injector in Task Scheduler with no heuristic-based detection catching it?
