You claimed that Kaspersky, Bitdefender and a bunch of others (not defined who exactly) did not update their drivers for years.
Which is correct.
and the result is you were wrong again.
No. It is not wrong because there are drivers that have not been updated in years.
Why would they update you are asking? Because their software is not neglected and they wanna bring constant performance and security enhancements.
Neglect has nothing to do with it. Drivers are only updated if there is a proven problem or a new feature is introduced. Security enhancements are not something that needs to be done on a regualr basis.
They have the duty to do so.
No. They do not. There is no such duty nor requirement. Drivers and software are provided on a "best effort" basis and per the terms of the EULA, or in the case of a commercial or government contract, per the SLA. A software publisher located anywhere is not compelled to do anything.
So why should people deploy a package by a company whose main theme (according to you) is consistent neglect and providing merely a “best effort”?
Not fixing GUI bugs is not neglect. Not fixing bugs that are not a security concern is not neglect.
Millions of users keep using Comodo because it provides excellent protection and it is free.
and providing merely a “best effort”?
All publishers provide software on a "best effort" basis.
Read the EULA. The EULA terms put all risk onto the user when using security software. No publisher is going to assume liability for a system that is not under their control.
The only time liability falls onto a software publisher is when the software malfunctions and causes physical harms. For example, when an x-ray system manufacturer's software malfunctions causing the system to physically harm the patient. Another example would be when software that controls machinery malfunctions causing the machinery to injure a person.
No software publisher assumes any risk for security or economic losses.
The only company that has a malware warranty is Comodo.
Where did you get this from?
Go research the Windows kernel. Microsoft released it in its entirety. And the Linux kernel is open source.
This is not difficult.
