Well, except for cutting-edge stuff. Different wireless connectors, or 
different USB connections, can be problematic for the people writing 
*drivers*.  And if there isn't a standard windows API, there's usually 
custom software that comes with the device to do the thing. (Think about the 
first scanners before TWAIN and WIA was around.)
