I mean, there’s a reason there are so many distros. They’re for different needs.
Some people seem to prioritise a little convenience above absolutely everything else, which leads to Ubuntu, but people like me want proprietary software to burn in hell, so we wouldn’t use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not suitable for our needs. It also wouldn’t be suitable for having an easily customiseable OS.

One of the biggest things I’d point out for security is that unless effort is made to ensure people are upgrading, more systems on Linux is going to mean more versions of the kernel being on more machines.
It will result in a lot more machines running versions that have known exploits open against them so malware will become easier to propagate on Linux in general.
