This may have been true historically but I'm not sure it still holds up. I switched to Linux Mint as my regular OS a while back and the only driver issue I've had was that the installer didnt properly install my wifi card's proprietary driver (which was working during live boot from usb), so I had to tether to my phone to download the driver through the driver manager. It even installed Nvidia drivers just fine.

It might still be an issue for more barebones or heavily customisable systems but I'm fairly certain nobody's recommending people switch to Arch for their first Linux experience.
