I know, my point is that the most complex pieces of software within Ubuntu are not primarily developed by Canonical and thus it's possible to maintain complex Linux software without having ads and tracking. The fact that Canonical had developed spyware has nothing to do with the Linux kernel, glibc, bash, GNOME, systemd, PulseAudio, all of which prove that you don't need ads and tracking to maintain Linux software.
