Never had my PC (win10: 2016-2022 and win11: 2023-now) install a driver for a USB stick ever.
Even some external devices are painless.
And I see plenty of PCs in my job.
I once was fixing someones computer booting with Bluescreen, because Windows 7 thought it found newer drivers for USB 3.1, and those newer were causing BSOD
Meanwhile, Windows in 2023: "oh, you plugged the same flash drive into a different USB port? Better reinstall a new set of drivers!"
