why ubuntu LTS installs all in a single partition?

Ubuntu has done it this way for several versions now, and it’s the way I've always preferred it with all my servers and even my desktop machines. I think it makes maintenance simpler for things like drive imaging and restores, and there's no need to worry about expanding partitions that become full over time.
