Am I correct to assume this only affects machines that have software from CrowdStrike installed?

No - it impacts all Windows machines running CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor software. CrowdStrike is used by a lot of companies to provide front end security protection from ransomware and other malware that uses command and control servers.

OK, but I searched for the files named in the article, and they don't exist on my machine. I do not have a "CrowdStrike" folder in Windows\System32\drivers

Neither is a brick. And the brick, at least, may be thrown through the window of CrowdStrike's offices. Not that I recommend that use; the local Law would probably take a dim view of it.

Who's going to protect those companies from CrowdStrike? :-)
