I recently read an article (reference missing i'm afraid) in which the

Possibly because it takes the trouble to support more hardware than any
other OS. And some of that hardware is seriously b0rken, because the
vendors only ever tested it with Dimdows drivers. So Linux has to take it
upon itself to work around the most egregious of the brain damage. That's
life.
