Why do people always talk about Ubuntu here instead of Kubuntu? (retrolemmy.com)

I've seen people suggest Ubuntu without mentioning Kubuntu, but it seems like most people (especially gamers?) prefer KDE Plasma. I've seen people complain about Ubuntu's GUI and lack of customization, but then no one suggests them to try Kubuntu instead. It seems like people just don't know that Kubuntu exists.

Also as an aside, people often criticize how slow updates are on Ubuntu/Kubuntu/etc, but if you enable the backports ppa then it's actually pretty quick!

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports

Hmm, I added the PPA to the latest ubuntu LTS, ran apt update, but it doesn't propose me to actually update anything? Do I need to separately tell it to install plasma from this PPA? Or do I need to install plasma6, because ubuntu LTS is still on plasma 5?
