The point I was trying to make is the distribution model is changing. 
Flathub has a lot of options, and I've seen quite a few projects go for 
the self contained "Appimage" model (LMMS for example). Almost half the 
software I use for multimedia comes containerized rather than from a 
traditional repository model -- that goes for an Ardour subscription as 
well.

And there is also the WINE effect. It works really well these days. In a 
lot of cases you can get a Windows "hassle free" audio experience in a 
Linux OS, and you don't need a custom distribution for WINE.

This is just my experience and I can't speak for Ubuntu Studio users.
