All they had to do was go fix the input drivers, the user-space library to communicate them, the compositors to be able to mediate gestures, the toolkits to process them, the X11 server extensions, wayland protocols, etc...
One of the biggest problems in this is that you can't just fix one input driver. You have to go fix them all so that the experience is consistent across as much as hardware as possible.
