Sure you need drivers to use hardware, but that doesn't mean all hardware needs a driver that is specifically designed for that one piece of hardware. The fact that it works straight out of the box implies that there wasn't drivers made specifically for the Switch hardware.

That is just not how it works.

That's exactly how it works I'm afraid, that people are plugging it in and it's working immediately without installing specific drivers... well there you go. It's already proven.

It works on MAC and Android... do you honestly believe Nintendo went out of their way to write drivers for these platforms too? Before the thing was even released?

It supports Direct Input, thus it can be used with universal input drivers that aren't made by Nintendo.
