Ubuntu might have normal users, but the distro itself is anything but normal, these days.

What do you mean by that? I haven’t used Ubuntu in a long time. I know a lot of people dislike snap packages (for valid reasons, imo) but that’s about it
Snap is a very central component of Ubuntu nowadays and it looks like Canonical is trying to make it the new standard package manager. It's a very long and messy transition. They also keep trying to serve ads on the commandline, e.g. recently they tried to push some kind of subsciption service by saying something like "you could get these updates, too, if you were a subscriber" when you're updating on the commandline.
There's pretty much a neverending string of changes that leave a bad taste.
(disclaimer: Ubuntu is still my main OS. Reinstaling is kind of a PITA ...)
To be fair to Canonical, those messages can be disabled by deleting /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf, but that's still kinda unacceptable IMO.
They should've just disabled the messages unless you actually attached a pro license
(disclaimer: I mainly use kubuntu as my debian-based distro of choice, because gnome/gdm3 makes my eyes bleed)
Another thing, you can get like 5 licenses for free (for personal use), but I understand people not wanting to give their info away.
