Switching to Fuchsia (which will never happen because it is a toy project to occupy bored engineers) does not magically solve the problem that device vendors want to minimize the work in maintaining their drivers. Even enforcing open source drivers (for the sake of discussion) will not help, because at a certain complexity, the device driver writer requires knowledge about undocumented internals of the device that is just not available outside the manufacturer. There must be an economic incentive for device manufacturers to maintain/update their drivers, otherwise it cannot happen. Users want to buy new devices, not pay directly or indirectly for updating their old devices; this basically seals the deal.
