I agree with you on general drivers, but what generic devices does Linux still lack? Controller HID support seems pretty universal, as do all manners of touch screens/touch pads, drawing tablets, and just about anything resembling a keyboard. The only hardware I know for sure is lacking is stuff like Stream Decks, but that kind of hardware is difficult to generalise for. Plus, most working hardware that doesn't fit a standard HID protocol already has drivers in the Linux kernel written by manufacturers.

I know that Georges Stavracas has been working on a controller for the Elgato devices for a while (https://flathub.org/apps/com.feaneron.Boatswain https://flathub.org/apps/com.feaneron.Boatswain) though it needs direct access to the devices instead of through some generic driver (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/boatswain#udev-rules https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/boatswain#udev-rules).
