If I saw a popup tell me to disable my antivirus Id nope out of there even faster than the ones that demand I disable my ad blocker.

Yep. I see popups asking to disable adblocker the same way as that.

Back in the days it was a regular feature of pirated software, and worst part is, in many cases it was legit as some antiviruses like Kaspersky seemingly went for full on crusade against piracy

Windows Defender hates keygens.

To take that a step further, it hates key server emulators for Microsoft products more. To the point that AutoKMS and the like are listed multiple times and periodically get relisted as something new so that even if you've flagged it as being allowed it will still eventually get re-blocked in the future.
