It is, sadly, for everyone. Writing Github actions workflow? That's on Ubuntu (and you'll need to use Ubuntu for self-hosted runners for more success). Aiming to install a random package binary for a random project you've found? That's probably for Ubuntu. Need any enterprise/MDM stuff? That's probably Ubuntu.

We need people to start offering (or demanding) alternatives to Ubuntu before we can reasonably move off of it.

Why are those thing Ubuntu-exclueive and don't also work on Ubuntu derivatives like Pop_OS or Mint? Isn't that the whole point of Linux?
None of those things are Ubuntu exclusive. Not sure where he got that information.
