because...

1. You can always purchase support from Canonical (cannot purchase
support from Fedora)

2. Fewer installed packages, less fuss, less things to go wrong on
Ubuntu on a typical install whereas Fedora will comparatively install a
kitchen sink

3. Off-shore distribution skirts restrictions that create problems
because of US patents
