why ubuntu LTS installs all in a single partition?

Yes it is.

Terabytes of disk cost as much as an inexpensive restaurant meal now.
There is no reason for fooling around, wasting time and effort, on
multiple partitions any more. My home server has a single partition
for root *and no swap partition at all*. It has 3GB of RAM - it
doesn't need swap, but if it ever does, I have installed ``swapspace``
so it will create a swapfile on demand.

Multiple partitions are 1990s thinking. There is no reason any more.
One big partition is much easier.
