Windows doesnt drop to CLI and break if the graphics driver is missing.

Okay. Kind of a matter of definition of "breaking" but sure.

But also GPU driver updates are not forced on you just by updating the system.

Right. But on Linux they happen automatically when upgrading the rest of your system, is what I was saying.
