I tend to look at it (very conveniently, of course) as

it as part of the hardware device we're dealing with. Without it the
device does not work. It is distributed as a separate file (inside the
driver disk that actually comes with the device) because it is
convenient for the manufacturer for updates, avoiding a flash rom in the
device, and so on and so forth.
Most probably very few people will agree with this viewpoint :-)
Makes sense to me. ;-)
