There is recourse, just not for normal people, as you eluded to. Companies are and will be continuing to sue crowdstrike, and based on the papers that crowdstrike has posted, the impacted companies are extremely likely to be successful. It seems overwhelmingly likely that the companies are going to be able to convince a judge/jury/arbiter that crowdstrike acted grossly negligent and very plainly caused both direct losses and indirect reputational harm to the companies.
