'Why is the CUDA driver installed with the toolkit "not recommended for use in production"?

In the CUDA release notes (for v11.7 at least), it says:

For convenience, the NVIDIA driver is installed as part of the CUDA Toolkit installation. Note that this driver is for development purposes and is not recommended for use in production with Tesla GPUs.

Why is the driver installed with the toolkit not recommended for use in production? Shouldn't we develop with the driver we intend to use in production?

Also, why are Tesla GPUs mentioned specifically? ... or - is this just some old piece of text which is no longer relevant?
