There isn't just one USB keyboard driver; there are many.
Now maybe we should include the right driver for whatever you had
plugged in during installation. But what if you don't have a
keyboard plugged in? What if you plug a different model of keyboard
in, that needs a specialised driver?
This is why 'generic' is usually the right answer.
