That's ignoring the whole market share problem. Drivers aren't always written for Linux but there are always drivers written for Windows. If they use the standards in place for generic cameras, microphones, mass storage, networking, etc.

Most USB devices fall under the USB communication device classes and the rest are made by companies that force you to use bloated software or don't fit in this standards spec. It's the companies fault for neglecting Linux not the other way around.

There's also the ability to extend a standard class but it often has to be treated as a separate device.
