The takeaway: Microsoft forced pre-release firmware onto millions of computers.
They're lucky only a small percentage were damaged tbf.
Edit: on re-readinf I may have parsed this incorrectly
It may be more like "for some reason some drives have pre-release software and the update.. interacts badly with it?"
How you read that article and came to that conclusion is beyond me. No, that's not the takeaway lol. Microsoft didn't force the pre-release firmware onto people SSD's.
