I’m curious why Ubuntu as a font was included on this list. While it technically is a font, it’s a font shipped with an OS. There is no mention in the article about problems with default fonts shipped with windows or macOS.

They use it for branding too: https://www.ubuntu.com
I assume it's to underline the "smaller" argument. Working at Canonical, none of the other companies on that list is "small". I think AirBnB is the smallest that isn't us, and it's got over a thousand.

I don't know how big it was when it made the font though.

San Francisco (Apple's font) is also mentioned.
I really dislike this font
