From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No compatibility with Ubuntu is Ubuntu's fault, no?
I use debian 12 on my work laptop. I agree with your points but I still use it because I want the fundamental system to be stable, and then any software I want to be more up-to-date I build from source (tmux, alacritty, neovim) or download separately (vscode/slack/joplin).
I used to use ubuntu because it worked so well with my hardware ootb, but I got tired of snap.
I use debian with flatpaks. It is good enough for me. I like it and I am gonna keep using it.
No one can dictate what tickles your fancy and ticks your boxes bud. If you're into debian, that's cool by me. Not my jam personally, but wtf does my opinion matter?
Debian is great for my server.
I use MX, based on Debian, for my laptop so I only have to remember 1 update command.
My laptop is ancient, and I'm not getting any more out of it than I'm getting with MX
