It's not an insult. In my experiences people often want to stay with
something they are used to and then try to change it in a way, it
wasn't designed for, instead of becoming used to something that is
intended for what they want to do.

There's a saying, "Arch is what you make it", but there are other
distros aimed for what you want to do, too.

There are reasons why distros such as Gentoo [1] and Arch Linux [2] are
provided.

Ubuntu's concept is to provide something OOTB that doesn't require
customisation [3], so the policy is not optimised for customisation. 

[1] "Gentoo is a free operating system based on either Linux or FreeBSD
that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any
application or need." - https://www.gentoo.org/get-started/about/

[2] "The repository system also allows users to easily build and
maintain their own custom build scripts, packages, and repositories,
encouraging community growth and contribution. [...]
To summarize: Arch Linux is a versatile, and simple distribution
designed to fit the needs of the competent Linux® user. It is both
powerful and easy to manage, making it an ideal distro for servers and
workstations. Take it in any direction you like. If you share this
vision of what a GNU/Linux distribution should be, then you are
welcomed and encouraged to use it freely, get involved, and contribute
to the community. Welcome to Arch!" - https://www.archlinux.org/about/

Ubuntu today has nine flavours and dozens of localised and specialised
derivatives. There are also special editions for servers, OpenStack
clouds, and mobile devices." - https://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu
