Reading thru all the objections at ExtremeTech, it appears that
in each case Ubuntu was constrained by license issues.  So I
think the review was unduly harsh.  Even he pointed out that
Ubuntu made it easy to get around these issues.  He just wanted
them to be fixed "out of the box".  But if that isn't legally
possible, how are they to do it?

I think the reviewer should be called "Whiny Brat".
