Indeed.  I've often wished there were a standard device interface
(more or less like 9P) so one could have *real* plug-and-play across
*all* platforms without having to write device drivers more than
once per device.  If this industry were ultra-rational it could
happen, but unfortunately it's in a rush to make profits using
existing crufty platforms, a very short-sighted view about which
nothing can be done, apparently.
