To the user it's an OS issue. Manufacturers don't provide good driver support for Linux. They treat windows as the only first class citizen so there is no need to change the default speed or config on windows.

😆”there is no need to change default speed”.

You know, there is not a globally agreed “perfect” scrolling speed, even if driver is better for windows.

But the better driver on windows maybe allows changing scroll speed after all.

I guess not, changing scroll speed does not work on a lot of touchpads, even on windows.
