I'm sure all other AV companies are hoping Kaspersky Labs wins this suit.

After reading MS explanation, I think the wise move was to disable something not compatible.
It's certainly better than allowing the incompatibility and crashing the system.
(This also means that MS should be held accountable if they don't allow enough time to work out compatibility problems before pushing out their update.)

I think the magic words are no known ransomware, perhaps unknown ransomware runs on windows 10.
