That's an extremely reductionist/simplistic view of why people pick, use and/or discard an operating system. And, FWIW, Ubuntu isn't my primary cloud Linux.
Because for many people, Ubuntu is the linux distro.
Why? Because it's free, and very simple to use, but if it becomes paid, no matter how good it is, devs will switch to something else, and the market will follow them, gradually.
