I'm sure you're right which is why I couldn't confirm it on Google.

Example: https://newsroom.ibm.com/Bringing-Linux-to-IBM-Z This is very politically partner-agnostic but a lot of the work was specifically around SUSE in the early days.

Not really. Redhat and SUSE get named explicitly.

Edit: Ubuntu, too.

What I meant was that it was really all about SUSE originally. Red Hat came later and AFAIK Ubuntu has never really been a material presence on IBM mainframes. No one else has ever mattered with respect to commercial Linux distributions that would run on a mainframe.
