I disagree with the statement that it reads like a love letter, but I very much agree that you should clarify what's meant by "the post-AV anti-malware game"..

It comes across as a wannabe-buzzword, and something of a contradiction. Further, I can't find any reference elsewhere.

Oh and post-AV anti-malware game: AV sucks and doesn't really do much to protect you against decent malware. Post-AV anti-malware systems do better.

Perhaps I'm just not privy to this terminology - but to me this sounds like "kernels suck, and don't really do much to run your PC. Post-kernel operating systems do better."

Calling it post-AV just doesn't seem to offer anything. That's what's making this sound like PR for SentinelOne - maybe they do have a better offering than anybody else, but drawing an arbitrary line (the 'post-AV' line, where everyone else is 'left behind in AV-land') doesn't lend any credibility.
