All the driers are basically handled by windows update or are already in the kernel.

Eh... There was an issue a while back with Nvidia drivers causing all sort of issues and requiring a rollback. While it's not something you would have to deal with often, from the perspective of the technically inept, that one tine they may have to do this would ruin their day and also whoever they're calling for support.

The average person is far less competent with technology than you may think.

This is still a stretch. Don’t consoles also have issues like this? What about the red ring Xbox 360s? Didn’t ps3 have issues with Skyrim saves becoming corrupt?

Can't say I've ever had any of those consoles, just playing devil's advocate here. Personally as a PC gamer who's been called on for support countless times for driver issues, launcher issues and what not, that's all I can attest for.
