You are over-thinking this statement. It does not have to mean Ubuntu *developed*, but could also mean *included* with Ubuntu. That would include apt-get, etc. I also think that you are under-estimating Software Centre which handles the chores or Synaptic and gdebi as well as pushing content. It sounds like you have an axe to grind.
