Each format has its own small set of classes.

He he, that was my same reaction when I first saw it, but Simone explained
that they needed special support for a few variations in behavior between
the various formats. That was a long time ago, maybe today GDAL is well
behaved enough that we could just have a single generic driver for it [1],
or maybe a generic one plus special ones for the oddly behaved formats.
Dunno, I haven't looked back at it in years, I'm just parroting back
what I've been told many years ago, when I joined GeoSolutions

[1]: if that was done, instead of having one entry per format in the UI,
we'd have a single "Generic GDAL reader" entry.
The relationship is "one factory class, one entry" in the UI.
