Linux does a lot of things differently than other operating systems.  In 
many cases it's because the other OS's do things wrong.  One could just 
as easily turn the question around and ask why on earth would your 
hardware be different than all the other USB hardware?

If there's a bug in the kernel, the true fix would be in the kernel.

Actually I think that you're the one throwing a tantrum and yelling that 
it needs to be done your way or else.  We generally don't change global 
constants because one hardware device doesn't work.
