windows defender is ver poor and free antivius please.
Generally, it has lower detection rates than other known products and as you can see TheMalwareMaster does not suggest using it alone, but along with VoodooShield. Windows Defender is one of the most compatible with other security utilities product, and light on resources from many aspects. That's the main reason.

I totally agree that WD is the most compatible AV but I really doubt about its lightness
I always feel and confirm using task manager that WD is not lighter than other popular AVs. WD consumed so much CPU and disk while I didn't do anything, just sat and observed for a few minutes
I have tried KIS, avast and WD, avira recently. WD is the heaviest; avira is also the heaviest only when it causes memory leak. Avast with some of performance tweaks is the lightest
