Part of the reason was that windows was getting a reputation as an unstable os. After a bunch of work they discovered that a lot of drivers were the source. As an effort to change that image, they started vetting drivers. I think they have been making moves to push as much 3rd party out of the kernel as they can, so blue screens would only be os issues.

Whether that vetting continues with ai around is going seriously affect window's future image.
