Are you actually able to do that now? You used to not be able to or they were sufficiently hidden.

They're hidden in the same sense that the real "download" button is hidden on most torrent sites.

They’ve never been hidden. You just go to the website, put in your model and download it. There’s apps that do it for you now which is where this must be coming from. Still doesn’t change the fact you can directly download the driver.

Windows will do it for you as well but you have to enable it.

Maybe they were harder to find on their site like a decade ago when I first got an Nvidia card and I just never tried looking again.
