Millions?  They must consider each bug report to be a contribution.

    "Ubuntu Desktop has more than 6 million monthly active users (based on
    devices checking for desktop-specific updates and not including those
    behind a corporate firewall or proxy). Ubuntu Desktop is by far the most
    popular Linux distribution for developers (~27% in the 2023 Stack Overflow
    developer survey)"

Ubuntu is just a stock distro, no seasoned user is likely to use it,
although there are some exceptions.

It probably has some stability benefit for "developers".

I have it on my old ASUS laptop. But I prefer Debian (testing or unstable) and
Arch.

Doesn't matter a lot, it's personal preference in the end.
