Note that Ubuntu Pro is free for everyone for up to five machines and
with 22.04 onwards it does offer additional CVE fixes for universe
packages that you will not get otherwise (without pro you get the
general security fixes from the community, which barely do not happen
(probably for one out of 1000 CVEs gets fixed there by experience))
So if you use a lot of universe packages/libs and care about security
fixes, I'd actually consider to enable/keep it ...
