I don't think so. Those drivers would be outdated soon. I think they
provide fancy "downloaders/installers" that seduces the customers to
register their devices althought that's not needed (and hardly any
Windows user needs the 6478th EQ or compressor). It's probably a
marketing department's "brilliant" idea.
No-one needs installers for Windows systems. The operating system
provides everything. It's always about getting data and control users.
But I think this is no jack topic but more an ALSA topic.

They probably use mass storage mode to provide their custom drivers (which are needed
for
performance under Windows). On Sun, 28 Jul 2019 12:07:52 -0400, wrote:
Note that Focusrite support wrote me that the 3rd gen interfaces are
shipped in "Mass Storage Device" (MSD) mode initially. I guess they want
to make more customers registering themselves and their Focusrite
devices. More data, more good. Although 1818vsl works great now I am stuck withy
44100.
I once tested it, before I bought a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd Gen.
