Then why is it rated 9.8? (Including by Ubuntu itself)

Because the rating system is not very good.

It’s not by RedHat. Does Ubuntu provide its own independent research and scoring?

RedHat's web site shows it as a 9.8 at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-98432. Now, there may be times when Redhat downgrades a score...say for example you have SELinux and the vulnerability is blocked by it but they usually track with the official number.
