I suspect "primitive" was the point
MS has to be able to defend this to the EU. By pointing out that this is meant to be a very basic package and that 3rd party AV vendors can show that, for money, they offer a better product, then everyone wins. Windows is safer by default and if you want more whizbang features, 3rd party AV vendors are there to provide them.

I'd also like to add that for me, this is actually perfect. I want basic protection with a UI I never have to look at unless something is wrong. For me, MSE is perfect and better than the AVG I just uninstalled.
