Microsoft allows Windows drivers to update without a reboot or
necessarily a system rollback image.
The real question is why (beyond supposed "efficiency") does Windows not
sandbox driver code so that third-party bugs don't blue-screen the system?
Speedy updates against zero-day issues are a necessity for
anti-virus/anti-intrusion systems, so they need that extra bit of
failsafe support from the OS.

Haven't Microsoft considered the possibility of such an event?
The UEFI boot system which has replaced BIOS in most Linux systems backs
up pre- and post-update images before & after any update, so a
known good image can be booted immediately there's a problem.
