That's simply not true. It was there until earlier this year[0].
Regardless, even if it had been removed years ago. It wouldn't have made any difference to my remarks or decision. It's just one more straw on the proverbial camel's back.

But after upgrading to 20.04, and fighting with Snap slowdowns, and yet another change in desktop direction, the weird data sharing of searches with Amazon, and weird power management problems on hardware that had previously "Just Worked", I just had had enough. I switched to Mint a month ago, and haven't look back.
I love how Ubuntu has brought Linux into the (somewhat) mainstream, but I'm just over how much it keeps changing direction, and releasing things before they're ready.
