If you are referring to Windows Defender, it is impossible to use it on anything other than Windows, and one requires a purchased license to use Windows, so one is indirectly paying for Windows Defenders when buying a Windows license.

Windows defender may have been after Gates' time. Either way: The vast majority of money made on antivirus was other people, enabled by Microsoft.
Windows defender is free. They don't have to include it with Windows. I think they do because anti virus software, well and the necessity of installing such, made Windows worse.
