From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why do you think these issues have nothing to do with drivers? Apart from confusing controls, all of these can be attributed to hardware and driver quirks.
All of the following is speculation on my side and just stated as fact for easier reading / writing.
Because it did not allow for the functionality that exposed those bugs (as in PulseAudio provided features that should work according to documentation, but didn't)
Because these bugs got fixed after PulseAudio exposed them.
Have it your way dude, I ditched PulseAudio for PipeWire over two years ago (see my post at https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/kufrmu/pipewire_audio_is_so_good_now/) and never looked back. But I strongly believe that PulseAudio, despite its flaws, was an overall gain for Linux audio and I dislike people bashing the work of others.
