No offense NoOP, but it is because Canonical in South Africa, has no Phone number, no OEM sales people and  we are unable to speak to them in person.
They treat large manufacturers like OEMs, as they were end users. The don't exist in my country just like all other distros don't exist in my country.
These guys have no  idea how hard it is to be an OEM for Linux. And they don't give a D..M.
Sorry for the vent, I have been down this road about 10 times in the last 12 years.
