Do you have any evidence for why confidence in Ubuntu was misplaced before this? Or are you just vibe-accusing?

Unity UI, Ads in the OS, paid subscriptions, Snap, partnership with Amazon, etc, etc, etc.
At least 15 years of nonsense.

Wait what, I haven't used Ubuntu in a long time. They have ads like Windows???

They run ads in MOTD IIRC. Haven't used it in 15 years but I've stumbled on a lot of drama over the years.

Apt-get shows you ads for Ubuntu Plus or whatever it's called
I don't hate Ubuntu at all, but that incident showed a level of blithe carelessness to user data that is unacceptable and reduced my confidence in them.
