I feel like this is just ignoring the issues raised in the post, or saying “well, I didn’t use those features so I don’t care”.

You personally not caring is ok. The distro not caring is generating some hate.

I'm answering the question "why do people use Ubuntu".

I'm also of the opinion that sometimes change is good. The Linux world is held back by design decisions and quirks coded into ancient operating systems that have long since died.

Luckily for the people on old Ubuntu versions, Ubuntu 24.04 without the sudo-rs rewrite will be supported until May 2034 or May 2039 if you pay up. The sudo-rs people have about 7-8 years to fix any problems that might exist before you have to think about doing `sudo do-release-upgrade`.
