Yes, and display drivers are in large part in user mode too:

This has been the case since Windows Vista WDDM.

So they are on Linux, macOS and other platforms. In fact the DirectX in kernel model used by Windows XP and earlier was the anomaly by modern terms.

I don’t understand why you argue with me. Moving the user-space is good. My point is that the direction should be moving to user-space, not tacking more and more on the kernel, especially for silly things such as DRM.
