We don't get paid to have all this useless stuff on our computers, so they shouldn't be doing it, period. Now if they did it like Amazon, "Vaio with special offers" (and a reduced price, of course), then it would be another story.

Exactly correct. I have rebuilt dozens of notebooks for family and friends that required driver hunt fun. Best brands for driver support are Dell and Intel IMHO.
Older notebooks are a separate labour of love in their own right. I have had to get drivers from some really bizarre driver sites oft times.
