I still don’t get why companies who design hardware a so poor at writing drivers/supporting software. They design and test hardware, because recalls are expensive, but somehow feel like shipping shitty software is just fine.

Why is it so hard to priorities good drivers? Or is it just impossible to hire good driver developers?

Well there's 1) The businesses that sell hardware are run by people whose expertise is hardware, not software and 2) the type of people who have the right combination of skills and inclination to write drivers are rare but also can earn a lot more doing other type of software (hardware margins aren't all all that high compared to software).
