I'm confused, it seems like you are talking about something different than the original Twitter thread. The complaint there is that hardware that's officially supported on Windows does not have attached/downloadable driver for archivation and the only way to install driver for Windows is to first install elaborate middleman software and only through that it's possible to download and install the real driver from manufacturer's servers which must be online. That's word by word the same case for Mac hardware. The stackexchange answer I provided is the equivalent procedure as what Foone tries to explore in his thread, just for Mac's.
