So why do lots of linux server admins that I know use Ubuntu, at least
on their desktops and/or laptops?

Do they need Ubuntu?  No.
Do they need Debian?  No.
They could do a LFS install, if they had to.

They use it because it's very useful for them:
      * no time lost with the manual configuration of everything, it
        mostly works OOTB
      * reasonably recent program versions, without the possible
        problems (and thus needed precautions) of running a development
        version of a distro
      * they still get all the *power* of Debian

Ubuntu has lots to offer to people with linux expertise!
