Why did the antivirus market change so drastically?

When I was younger, the standard windows firewall was seen as weak and worth replacing asap with premium or strong free anti viruses, like Avast. What changed to make Windows Defender competitive? It looks like a few years ago something suddenly happened and now everybody on the market has great protection.

When Norton Antivirus started throwing pop ups on people’s computers every day, it became as big a nuisance as most malware. Windows Defender is free and operates in the background without annoying the user. Once software becomes annoying, it loses its relevancy.
