Why didn't they test any other Linux distributions besides Ubuntu (and Android, if you want to include that)? I also wonder why, if they were really interested in conducting a thorough test, they didn't include any of the BSDs (e.g., FreeBSD, OpenBSD).

Yes I have witnessed this - I did contract work for NHS and one of the PCTs had taken on a vendor for a cash back promise.
