Good to know.Haven't had an issue with realtek drivers or AMD chipset drivers directly from the site.
I agree, there is nothing wrong with using them. They will get you going. I am just saying what often happens is the disk is made well in advance (weeks, maybe months) of the motherboards so they can be ready for inclusion in the motherboard box during packaging. Then they may sit in a warehouse/distribution center for weeks, maybe months until Amazon, Newegg, BestBuy etc. place their order. Then they sit on the shelves or in the retailer's distribution center until the consumer buys it.Manufacture,s supply a Drivers disk ( with working Drivers) for initall install.
In the meantime, updated drivers (and BIOS firmware updates too) come out and are made available on-line.
Now I am not one to automatically update drivers just because a new one is out there. But on new builds, I do make sure the latest are installed. From then on, I update (or recommend updating) drivers only if they address an issue that affects me. The exception might be graphics drivers (depending on user) and I tend to keep them up to the latest.
