Because Linux not Windows mimicking one platform's behavior on another is usually not the best option. We actually discouraging driver- and vendor-specific interfaces between kernel and userspace and striving towards drivers (both kernel- and user-space) that are able to handle multitude of devices from different vendors. Maybe if you provided more details about your device (what it is exactly, what the protocol is, what exact issues you are trying to solve) people could direct you towards some of existing solutions.
