This is a popular misconception. There's about 500 people who work for Canonical, most (nearly all) of which use Ubuntu all day every day. They range from events management, HR, finance to developers, designers, project managers, product managers, documentation experts and blue sky thinkers. We cover a surprising number of use cases in one company. The developers are unsurprisingly very technical users and there are also many non-technical users. To say we don't cater to both is not true in my opinion.
