As someone whose day job involves working with teams who develop both
Windows and Linux drivers (and in the past, even macOS drivers!), I
can categorically say that Windows driver engineering processes are
way friendlier than Linux ones, precisely because Windows drivers are
deliberately not exposed to Secure Boot*at all*.

All Windows drivers must be signed by WHQL[1], i.e. by Microsoft Corporation.

Unsigned Windows drivers can be loaded only in a special "Driver testing" mode.
