Two points: The effortless of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint with other Microsoft security products makes it an important component of XDR and allows it to correlate various signals from the different products, something which requires additional technical overhead in other similar products The heuristics based approach of XDR is one of its highlights as a feature and the integration of Microsoft Threat Intellignence compliments it further.
