Why do you have to install Usb-Drivers on Windows, but I never had to do it on Linux? (lemmy.world)

On my Job I regularly have to install Windows PCs and sometimes even install the USB Drivers for Mouse and Keyboard to work. Why dont I have to do that on Linux ever? Seems weird not to have them installed on Windows.

What version of windows and what mouse and keyboard. 99% of them work out of the box and the drivers only add extra functions if there are special features.
