Almost 100% of their datacenter GPUs are used on Linux. Do do think they run without drivers?

They run with drivers, of course.

But such servers have no need to, for example, suspend and resume correctly. Or handle hot-plugging of displays correctly. Or install updates in a completely reliable manner. Or include the 32 bit support needed for Steam to work.
