I think a lot of people would find that picture offensive also. There
are a wide range of moral views in the world, and someone attempting
to interact on a world-wide scope needs to understand that and act
accordingly.

Ubuntu is free to put whatever pictures they want on their system.
People who don't like it are free to choose something else. If Ubuntu
is not interested in providing a product to those people, then there's
no problem. If they do want a wider use of their distribution, they
should listen to the comments.
