On my Job I regularly have to install Windows PCs and sometimes even install the USB Drivers for Mouse and Keyboard to work. Why dont I have to do that on Linux ever? Seems weird not to have them installed on Windows.

There should be an option in the bios to avoid that if you’re interested.
There should be something along the lines of “USB Legacy Support” if you set that to enabled, not auto this should pretend that the keyboard and mouse are ps/2 devices that would work without extra drivers.
Other possible names.

USB Legacy Support USB Emulation USB Device Legacy Support USB BIOS Supported Devices`
You’ve probably figured this by now, OP, but the computers at your job are weird. Needing to install USB drivers for mouse and keyboard to work is not normal behavior for Windows. Like another person commented- check the BIOS settings.
I’ve had the opposite experience - nearly everything works out of the box on Windows, yet not even a Logitech mouse works on Linux unless I go find some third party tool to make it work.
A mouse that works instantly on XP (probably on Win95).
Logitech doesn’t put their software to Linux, but all my Logitech dongles and wireless devices worked fine, just couldn’t change their settings. But, there’s this software that does everything you need and actually works better than Logi Options+ imo.
Oh sweet, I refuse to download Logitech’s software so this is just what I needed
