I would agree with you given we were talking about MacOS or Windows. Who knows, that may come later. If this was a more consumer-focused niche linux distro like SteamOS, I would also be concerned for the same reason.

But this is a general purpose desktop linux distro. A common, beginners-choice option, but still an option placing the user in a pretty rare breed. This isn't to game cheaply on a Steam Deck they bought, this is a choice to either build a PC ignoring the buy prompts for "Remember the windows license!", or choosing to overwrite the preinstalled OS on your laptop/PC.

The venn diagram of anus-scan-accepters and regular ubuntu users is simply two distant circles.
