Its only going to get worse when Apple falls into its souped up iPad armbyss.Welcome to our website. A lot of peripherals work better even on Linux (Linux!).
Apple builds some universal tools into the OS for basic use of scanners, printers, optical drives and the like but that basic functionality is nothing like what the software written by the peripheral manufacturer can get out of the peripheral using that other operating system.
Most peripheral OEMs no longer bother to write software or drivers for MacOS for good reason.
Not to mention the elimination of 32 bit software compatibility after Mojave.
You have not used Apple computers very long if you have not lost access to the driver or the software that runs a valued peripheral with a MacOS "upgrade." That is a big reason many choose not to upgrade their OS to Apple's latest and greatest. The OP and many respondents do not seem to have much of a history with Apple or understand the roadblocks Apple puts up against OEMs that even want to bother to get their software certified-because mostly that's all it takes-to get their drivers or their software to work on a "new" version of an Apple operating system. I no longer burn DVD's and rely on two copies on traditional disk drives. 90% of those images are online and backed up to spinning drives in external enclosures. I've also dozens of DVD's that I've burned as backups and archives of photographs. Guess that will become Music, after the Catalina upgrade. Yet, I'm still an advocate of purchasing music CD's and importing to iTunes. TurboTax installation is valid, though I've used an accountant for the past two year. Seemed a little overkill and bought an Apple SuperDrive. I actually thought of keeping the old MacPro powered up as a network device, for the sole purpose of having access to a CD/DVD. This is probably of little help to the OP, but I bought an Apple SuperDrive after replacing an older MacPro with a late 2013 MacPro.
Anything more exotic than that and I'll have to update my old copy of Toast. My needs are pretty simple - making CDs of photos using the "Burn" icon tool in the Finder or just reading a yearly Turbo Tax disk for new software installations. It came with a CD of Windows software but no Mac software.
