TL;DR: Canonical doubling down on snaps. Further down the line, if you refuse snaps, audio won't work since pipewire is to become a snap. He also uses Apple and Play Services as a "good example".

Glad I switched to Debian a few years back. Got that hassle out of the way and I see no reason to use Ubuntu.
