You dropped too much context here. Drivers which are rottenware (Panu's term) are exactly in this category. We can only hope that upstreams remove them, based on feedback from the larger community.
The question is, how do you know whether the unmaintained driver last tested years ago still works (making potentially hundreds of silent users happy, and removing it will force them to spend money on replacing their hardware) or is actually completely broken? You have just no way to know.
