I'd say it's got more to do with Ubuntu initially being Gnome-based than anything else. Also, KDE (until very recently) wasn't helped by it's unusually hideous default theme and icon set.

Other distributions favored Gnome, like Fedora and RedHat, which has been dominating the enterprise. And maybe I'm wrong, but compared to other distros, Kubuntu was always in good shape. Back in the day when Canonical was distributing CDs, I got one as well with Kubuntu on it, so it was officially supported. For me I used to prefer Gnome because of the apps I was using. OpenOffice or Firefox seemed to be out of place in KDE. Plus I preferred a simpler environment, of course nowadays they've gone overboard.
