Why doesn't Huawei provide just the USB driver to use ADB?

Question

I'd like to use the MyPhoneExplorer application to sync my Android smartphone with Windows over USB.
This requires first installing a driver for the phone and the ADB application.



However, the official driver seems only available as part of the Huawei HiSuite bloatware: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html



Can someone confirm that there's simply no official driver from Huawei, and the alternative is either installing that bloatware, or find a non-official (possibly virus-carrying) driver somewhere?



Thank you.

Confirmed. There is no other way except installing Hi Suite or risking unknown driver. Tried unsuccessfully with several trusted universal drivers



This is my conclusion after I searched in several forums like XDA, Huawei forums ( trawling is a problem as they are in Chinese and one had to depend on Google translate) and Facebook sites of Huawei users. My search was motivated by unconfirmed posts that HiSuite send user information to its servers- bloatware I could live with. I was left with no option but install HiSuite
