If you use a Linux desktop professionally, it's only a matter of time until you hit that one GUI app that you need, that is only supported on Ubuntu.
I prefer Tumbleweed, but the sane choice remains Ubuntu.

So much for that Linux ecosystem compatibility, Linux apps not even compatible with other linuxes!
A vendor used to the Windows ecosystem might find it natural to support only one Linux distribution.
It's very awkward or unusable otherwise.
In fact you can even run an entire DE from Distrobox if you wanted to, although I can imagine that being a bit awkward. But a single GUI app? Shouldn't be an issue unless you've got a tricky/niche setup.
As long as the Kernel ist compatible, sure, technically.
This is not what I would consider "supported". This is not something a company wants to deal with on every single Linux client.
A company following your recommendation would need to deal with installing and upgrading the software "on every single" Ubuntu client. I fail see how that is any easier than installing and upgrading it in an Ubuntu Distrobox on every single client running some other flavor of Linux.
