Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Like with Mint itself, users can usually decide to upgrade kernel and drivers or stay on the same channel and roll with security updates.
As far as I know, the update manager automatically upgrades LTS kernels by default, but does not handle driver upgrades.
Describe the solution you'd like
The update manager could suggest kernel and drivers upgrades along with normal updates. These could be shown at the top of the list, but unchecked by default, and could be ignored or disabled if the user wanted to.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Driver upgrades could alternatively be suggested in the system reports.
Additional context
I've seen some hints around here that mintupdate may soon receive flatpak and spices support. If this is true, I think it could be the right time to also include kernel and driver upgrades.
