Except that this kernel driver is audited and signed by Microsoft, whom you also trust with the rest of your kernel if you use Windows at all.

I don't think Microsoft auditing of code it signs. Wasn't Crowdstrike signed by Microsoft?

    Microsoft doesn't do any auditing besides "is this the most obvious malware?"
