Well, I see that as branding. Ubuntu is brown and brown is Ubuntu. When you see those brown desktops in a Google search, you know that those are Ubuntu desktops. It is recognised, and they cultivate that brand recognition.
They could, of course, do something keeping the colours but changing other things, like the the theme engine, or the icons, or the panels (which they have done). I, personally, would like that they kept the colours because they help giving the distribution identity, something desirable in a 'market' as diverse as that of Linux distributions
And please forgive any broken English found in this message. I try to keep it within the bounds of sanitary regulations
