What OS are you using where you can get the vendor to implement kernel features to fix obscure driver issues? I'm sure there's an amount of money you can throw at Microsoft to get something done. I don't know how much it is, but I'm guessing it's more than it would cost to find a vendor to do it for Linux. The serious answer to " What is the point in having all of the drivers be open sourced and mainlined if we're not willing to fix them to support this?" is "There are many points to this, but one of them is that it's possible to fix them to support it, if someone wants to put in the effort. It's worth something that it's theoretically possible if you really need it, even if no one else has done it yet.". The answer "You can do it yourself" is meant to help them understand "Anyone can do it, someone needs to step up to the plate. But it's also true that it costs resources. If you're wondering why no one else has done it yet, it's the same reason you haven't done it yet".
