There are people responsible for the security of Windows systems in some organisations that do not understand their job. They look into their AV solution and it says vulnerable file detected on $x systems and they instruct their IT department to remove the file.

I'm guessing a common sequence is someone knowing what curl is, but not knowing that Windows ships with it. So, thinking that System32\curl.exe must have been put there by malware, or put there by someone installing optional software.

Indeed. Whole companies such as Crowdstrike exist just to sit in between automated tools and heavy-handed action based on tool output.

Microsoft should have renamed it to WINDLHLP.COM or something Windowsy like that, and none of these people would have dared touch it.

Two xx's. That's almost as bad as three, and surely heuristically naughty.
