Despite being pretty similar under the hood, Ubuntu and Debian seem very different in their approach to this kind of thing.

The Debian package manager telemetry is opt in, for example. Whereas iirc Ubuntu used to bundle an Amazon store in their default release? And who could forget that guy who got a cold call "hey, we saw you spun up a Ubuntu VM in Azure. Want to buy support?"

At least it doesn't say you must buy a new computer to update :)
