You can "spoof" any system where you can load older drivers into giving you admin/root, you just need to find a vulnerable driver. Nothing Windows-specific in that.

Also, disabling drivers from windows update is enforceable with group policy (iirc).
The BSDs have config, Linux can run without module support.
The windows-specific part is that there is a huge repository of dubious quality vendor drivers that are automatically loaded over the internet. Kernel modules shipped with your favorite Linux distro are not even remotely comparable to that situation.
