Off topic, but I had this question for years now: why does the Unix kernel (try to) contain the drivers to every and each device?

Wouldn't it be cleaner, easier and simpler to keep those separate and add them later as "modules"?

Isn't this how we're supposed to write other types of software? Why is this case different?
