To each his own. I find “free” versions of anti virus programs worthless and are viruses unto themselves.
You are terribly mistaken, perhaps you like the “suite” type programs which are all in one.
Another reason is that you might need or want a LOT of real time protection.
Most of my computing has been done on computers that are given to me or discarded because of being loaded with malware problems, and in about 20 years of that, I have never paid for a security program and my computers are clean, in fact my computer strength is in cleaning other people’s computers.
“Thats just ignorant!”
Yeeeheee!
ignorant advice alert!
