>before their hardware works

Linux users don't have to either. (Linux devs do.) Another thing they don't have to do is searching vendor site for drivers which may not even be installed correctly.

It's very rare to have to search for drivers these days on Windows. Last time I had to do so a few years ago, it was for an old IrDA receiver - and I doubt many people these days even know what that is.
