By a common, open driver system, do you perhaps mean "driverless"? My new printer works perfectly on Linux but took quite a bit of fiddling to get to work on Windows. Scanning from iOS is a mess (the official app works, but it has a hardcoded list of integrations instead of proper "share" support, so actually using the scanned results is a pain). I haven't even tried scanning from Windows.
And the very best part: on Fedora 32 or better, scanning Just Works! This is the result of a project to implement both Microsoft's and Apple's scanning protocols in SANE, and somehow the result seems substantially better than Apple or Microsoft's implementations.
