Part of that is the OS kernel design. Unlike Linux, Windows has a stable device driver API which makes it easy for hardware vendors to release drivers separately and maintain them across versions.

And there is absolutely nothing stopping Google from doing the same thing.

Google kind of tried to do the same thing by building the Fuscia kernel to replace Linux in Android. But that project appears to have failed.
