What is the point of having to install Nvidia Drviers every time I create a GPU Instance?

It is expected to have every basic prepared once the instance is created. Of course, I do think this should include the Nvidia Drivers.

I have started using Linode for my Machine Learning projects. Every time I create an instance I have to install the Nvidia drivers manually, I don't see the point and finally I go back to GCP which gives you the option to offer you pre-installed drivers. If you use an instance with GPU, you are expected to have the basic drivers to start working.
