On a new install I have to deactivate it in UEFI settings, then boot/install windows, then install the driver before reactivating it. My Windows bluescreens immediately after booting on my Threadripper build with an MSI MEG x399 if I don't have the wifi driver installed. I use Windows for audio recording, mixing, mastering and gaming, here are my examples of Windows not "just work"ing: Certainly some people have Windows-only apps (or games) they can't do without, but the vast majority of users out there don't.
I spend 90% of my computing time in a browser, terminal window, or text editor/IDE. I also do wonder where all these critical Windows-only applications are. It's not my favorite piece of hardware, but it's fine. Now I just buy a Dell XPS 13 and stop worrying about it, because everything works out of the box. I would always get it to more or less work, but it would take a lot of time and toil. Grabbing a random machine and expecting it to work fine (especially if it's a laptop) will often fail, and that's why people spend hours on forums looking for answers. Most people don't need "latest" hardware hardware from 2-3 years ago is fine, and, honestly, most latest hardware works fine too - again, if you do your research. If you want to run Linux on a computer, you do your research and build/buy one where the hardware support is there.
