This crowdstrike stuff seems an expensive subscription

I saw a lot of photos of crashed ad screens.

Why the hell are corps paying this much money for windows+cloudstrike for a glorified digital picture frame?? Wouldn’t be 100x cheaper to do it with some embedded stuff instead of having a full desktop computer running a full desktop os???
