Just look at the in-tree drivers: there are tons of them that don't

The vast majority of these were submitted ages ago. Standards for
acceptance and maintenance have risen since the days of ISA drivers and
floppy tape drives.
I think it's quite disingenuous to imply that a few bad apples are a
representative sample.
