On my Job I regularly have to install Windows PCs and sometimes even install the USB Drivers for Mouse and Keyboard to work. Why dont I have to do that on Linux ever? Seems weird not to have them installed on Windows.

    Because many 3rd party hardware providers are lazy, while Linux maintainers are not.

    Ms provides a way to have drivers deployed over their windows update channels when needed but the hardware provider has to do it.

    Linux allows basically anyone to provide a driver.
