Or stopped tinkering with their work machine so that they could spend more time tinkering with things that they actually wanted to tinker with

You should also stick to a workstation linux release. I'm a huge fan of OpenSUSE if you just want hardware to work, it has the hands down best hardware support of any release I've used.
The only drawback is every wonky package out there is built for Ubuntu, for example Spotify's linux client.
However, if you want a basic system that works, OpenSUSE is the way to go.

I stopped tinkering with my system configuration and started using it for the things I want to do as opposed to the things that get in my way.

Ubuntu didn't "just work". Is it aimed at tinkerers?
And this is perhaps the main difference. You stopped tinkering.
You can install a Linux distro aimed a people not interested in tinkering and it will likely just work.

There are in fact quite of bunch of people getting paid to fix compatibility issues and corner cases.
Try buying hardware from a Linux-based vendor.
