If you go to Ubuntu's web site, they will offer several distinct ISOs, each optimized for different usecases; and yet I'm not charged all of my personal information there either.

Ditto the Ubuntu images on Docker Hub.

Right. If I can run Ubuntu on Docker without Canonical knowing, I should be able to run Ubuntu on Azure without Canonical knowing.

This is a big misstep for Microsoft, from my point of view. I think it's less a reflection on Canonical, because once they have the information, it's ultimately going to be used. Microsoft just should not have agreed to the arrangement at all.
