Hardware is way more complicated compared to when *nix was first written. In the "good old days", most I/O was just writing bytes to the relavent I/O port (or memory address) and multi CPU systems were not in the hands of the home user. (let alone the whole conept of different capacity CPUs)

I think it's more of change in breadth rather than change in depth. “Add quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP10” is still perfectly understandable description line… but chances are that you wouldn't care about it because you don't have Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP10! In an era where Linux supported half-dozen of different configurations chances that any particular change would be relevant for your were much higher.
