Which feature? That you can add a driver into a running LiveCD system?
I wonder how this can be supported by and under MS-Windows, when we
take into account that no supported MS-Windows LiveCD product even
exists.
I suggest you to visit the docs section.
It is not a problem that you are new. The problem is which
"conclusions" you draw.
Please do not take it personally. But objectively speaking, I'm a bit confused.

If you consider Wintel hardware_and_tightly_bound_software packages
and Microsoft's dirty policies an "architectural" reason, then yes.
Developing drivers is a complex and expensive task.
Most hardware vendors only pay the money to have Windows drivers
developed for their products, blame them. Plus of course Microsoft for
their "practices" (Have a look at
