Ditto as I commented above, but I’ve heard these reports from lots of technical and smart people leading me to believe there’s a real reason. As others above have mentioned it sounds like laziness on the part of peripheral vendors, but it’s a bit surprising Apple doesn’t have a workaround that makes this not crop up.

If the problem is in fact lazy device manufacturers botching the identification data then I'm not sure how a third party could effectively work around the issue.
If I make two devices that report identical ID information there's no practical way for the OS to tell them apart.
