Ubuntu typically has more packages available and newer versions of them, besides supporting PPAs and Snaps to expand the easily available software.

Also, Gnome and KDE are both horribly unintuitive for newcomers. Ubuntu makes a several tweaks to Gnome to make it more user-friendly. Debian just gives a list of names and says to choose one or more.

It is mostly just inertia though.

From my experience, Kubuntu barely changes anything about KDE these days, and that's a good thing, too. I compile my own KDE on my usual machines, but I also have stock Kubuntu on one, and it's pretty much the same.

KDE is basically a clone of the Windows UI when it comes to how things work and there's a billion people out there that know how to handle Windows.

So it can't be that much of a hurdle.

Debian at the time of a new release has up to date software. Ubuntu feels more updated just because it releases every 6 months.

Agree on all other points though. Ubuntu's take on the Gnome interface is what makes it usable. Stock Gnome is just too barebones.
