It's because Ubuntu is a company-backed distro consistently wants to go their own way. Not just snap but they've done it before with Unity and Mir (and probably others idk).
Course Fedora does literally the same thing and doesn't get any hate for it so idk. It's just a meme.
Personally I don't like Ubuntu because they didnt go far enough into their own ways but thats just me.
Well thats just short sighted. Theres barely a reason for the average consumer to even think about plex let alone sell em on anything. Maybe if they tried to resurrect DVD sales or become the bandcamp of movies they would have a plan. But just a media organizer? Theres no way those investors are getting that 80mil back.
