Every Windows box is different from every other one. Some Windows drivers are way more stable, less-bloated or functional than the OEM's drivers (personal example: Realtek audio) on certain hardware, other times (as seen in this thread) it's the exact opposite. Managing and selecting which driver works well on your particular combo of hardware, and preventing auto-updates from overriding your choices should be a top priority for Microsoft. They desperately want Windows to be as user-friendly as macOS in this area, but the reality is that Windows runs on heterogeneous hardware and in practical terms, it just doesn't work. Right now forcing one particular driver over another is an exercise in pain and uncertainty. You never know if tomorrow you'll wake up to your microphone not working (again) because of an overnight update. It's silly. Just give end users a friendly interface and stop the nightmares.
