Hardware producers, inevitably, produce drivers for Windows first (and possibly, only). This of course doesn't guarantee quality drivers, but does guarantee drivers, which is better than no drivers at all, at least in the short/mid term. I did have problems in the past due to recent Ryzen and ethernet drivers for example, and using last Linux kernels (or even compiling them) is something that can't be asked to the general public. Fragmentation is also a very real problem, and it's inherent in Linux. I've discussed in another post about fragmentation of the GUI toolkit libraries problem, which has very visible consequences in daily usage.
