Host -> Manage -> Hardware -> PCI Devices contain a lot of grayed out devices, most of them seem to be related to CPU, is that due to missing drivers for them? enter image description here

Information of one specific item from esxcli hardware pci list indicates Module ID: -1, Module Name: None while something that is known to have drivers indicates Module ID: 50, Module Name: vmw_ahci. Does that mean item mentioned first doesn't have drivers?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
