The main difference is probably that Linux has a dozen+ desktops and (even ideally) multiple desktop implementations to support. Windows has just one, and they update it continuously (not to say it works perfectly either).
In the end, Windows has more users that report bugs on fewer setups. That makes fixing things much easier than Linux.

Driver support is once for all of Xorg and once for all of Wayland AFAIK; it's not like you have a different driver for each desktop environment. And I was rather given to believe that Linux users were far disproportionately likely to report bugs compared to Windows users, though I suppose there are so many more Windows users that they might still manage a higher absolute number of bug reports.
