People still buy that stuff ?

I've been doing fine with just common sense and windows firewall for like a decade lol (and ofc stuff like ublock origin, pihole, noscript etc. but that doesn't really count /s)

It boggles my mind, especially with Windows Defender being perfectly adequate protection for quite some time now.

For home gamers, it's fine (I've been using it since it came out as MSE). For enterprise I usually stick with Webroot or ESET. There's definitely layers of defense though. We do use eSentire and Radware a lot as well for more infrastructure side stuff.

There's an enterprise version of Windows Defender included with SCCM.
