I might be missing something, but to me that seems just life with a
generic transport that doesn't have built-in identification of

the (classic) parallel port and even to Ethernet. In such cases,
plug-and-play won't work, but that doesn't seem like a big deal to
me.
PCI devices can have the same problem. To use my TDM2400 I need to blacklist
netjet to prevent netjet's driver from trying to manage the device.
