I'm not sure I understand, how OpenBSD load drivers then?

IIRC the *BSDs are much more likely to recompile the kernel and reboot if needed for new hardware, whereas most Linux distributions have gone the "build every possible driver in the world as a module, load as needed" route.
They're all statically linked into the kernel.

$ uname -sr

OpenBSD 7.1

$ du -sh /bsd

22.0M /bsd
