macOS allows USB access without installing a driver, so that's probably why. The "driver" is just part of the app.

That’s how most operating systems have worked for over two decades. Most OSes support USB devices that present themselves as HID, mass storage, audio, etc. without any dedicated drivers needed. It’s only specialized devices or functionality that tends to need additional drivers.
