Which is why **variants of Ubuntu as flavors** for different DEs, etc. 
exist.  Bashing the 'vanilla Ubuntu' on that point alone is not going to 
help 'improve market share'.

Take Kubuntu Focus, a group that is trying to drive getting Kubuntu used 
on to-market systems.  Those individuals are bypassing the "Ubuntu is 
missing some of these features and pretty stuff" to push KDE and Kubuntu 
onto to-market systems.

When discussing 'market share' and 'user base' you have to expand 
"Ubuntu Desktop" to be "All Official Flavors of Ubuntu" because with the 
exception of Server they all have different DEs that meet the criterion 
you're stating.
