There are many programmers who do and will write drivers for hardware. However, if the manufacturer of the hardware will not provide the hard information needed to write a good driver, it is very difficult to do the job. Reverse engineering a hardware interface is very difficult. So, if the manufacturer will not give out the info, the driver does not get written.
