I am most intrigued by this concept of frustrated users crowdfunding pledges for bug bounties that bother them

Would a lot of people wanting to use the hardware but the drivers sucking be indicative of a good company or a bad company?

A bad company. Because they should be delivering a holistic product. But their hardware side knows their shit at least.
