> Ubuntu still does that.

Debatable.

    - Snaps.
    - Replacing something battle-tested with something written in Rust, MIT licensed, with 140 CVEs and other bugs (uutils).
    - Pulling rugs and replacing debs with snapswithout telling it, because "it creates positive pressur e on the snap team and drives the quality higher".
    - Staggered rollout of some updates, so update is there but you can't update because the your system didn't feel like updating yet.
    - Promising to open source Snap store to allow alternative stores and forgetting what they had said.
    - Bullying Debian to push their changes to Debian to offload software maintenance (they wanted to make netplan the default in Debian, for example).
... etc, etc.

Note: You can disagree with this, and we can discuss this with cool heads, if you prefer.
