> The other two certificates are for codesigning and trusted by Microsoft

That seems like a WAY bigger problem than TLS, but AFAIK Windows still validates code signing certs against CRLs before trusting them (can't remember if it soft-fails).

Why is that a way bigger problem? Windows will happily run unsigned binaries. Code signing just decreases the friction for users slightly, but is in no way required. TLS is definitely a way bigger problem.
