I have a friend who has spent thousands of pounds to become a certified microsoft engineer but even he says things like well you could try Norton or Mcafee etc when you have a problem. As opposed to saying this is how to sort the problem. What other product would you accept at this level of reliability?
I don't use anything more than the builtin windows defender on my PC's at home and I run 2x laptops, 1x desktop and a VMware lab of 4x host servers running around 22x Linux/windows virtual servers.

Windows 8.1 is the best operating system they had for me personally, it boots up the fastest time, it looks the most modern, it's easy to use and navigate. I have no training in IT and find windows simple to use.
Basically Windows 8.1 gets criticized by people who don't like change, who don't want to change those old tatty slippers because they feel so comfortable in them, anything else is just not as comfortable and gets criticized.
A late friend of mine (he died a month after sending me this) responded to my question about Macs not suffering viruses with this, in 2008. I'm not sure how true it is as I'm clueless.
