Isn't this mostly a driver issue, i.e. something that could change for any model at any time should the vendor decide to add tracking to a driver update?

I'm afraid it's probably built into the printer firmware, not drivers in OS.

Driver updates can usually modify the firmware in modern devices. I don't see a real dichotomy here...
