It wouldn't even be difficult either, they could just charge slightly more and then pay a kernel developer to solve these problems.

It's not just buggy kernel modules, it's also significantly buggy hardware too.
The only thing I would say they have got going for them is good connections for hardware and manufacturing which help them reduce costs, otherwise another player could easily take over.
