It's free for personal use though. Canonical have turned ubuntu rather corporate, but let's stick to the facts.

    Fair point.

    Counterpoint: why should I be compelled to give Canonical literally anything besides using the package manager to say “I’m using your software and I want the update”? Why do we need this additional new corporate-authorized side channel? What benefit does this yield, outside the realm of profit?

    I agree.

    They're a for-profit company, ubuntu pro is supposed to entice business customers. You and I get introduced, because canonical hope that we might use ubuntu profesionally and they gain a new customer. I don't hate it personally, but I see why people don't like it.
