There is a significant difference between Ubuntu, the FOSS Linux distribution, and Canonical, the corporation. If you want to have a business discussion, it should be with someone with an @canonical.com or some thirdy party business/ consultant. In the context of a Linux distribution being more technically focused is quite appropriate and expected. Unless you're writing a check to someone, you aren't a customer.
