I download drivers straight from nvidia.com and it takes many steps: go to drivers page, choose product series, choose product (choices don’t seem to matter but who knows if that’s gonna change at some point), click start search, click on the search result to go to driver page, click download, run installer, click click click click click. It’s a hassle compared to updating just about anything else on my machines.

I only do it because (1) GeForce Experience requires logging in with Nvidia account and seems to log me out every time; (2) when GeForce Experience updates the driver it seems to pause forever doing god knows what between finishing the download and starting to install.

They do matter, you're just lucky(?) always using hardware and software environments that are always covered by the first thing on the list.

If you don't want to specify details and run an installer, that's squarely a You problem.

That you “can’t fathom” why people want to automate a multi-minute chore is a “You problem”, really.

I read that as “no matter what I choose I get the same file but I still make the correct choice because Nvidia knows better than I do.”
