Granted that you do have a point, But the real question was why did he make it sound Like Ubuntu would be a bad choice. Really for the desktop Ubuntu is a great distro. I think it would be a fine option for them to look.
Now being that I use Ubuntu I would have no issues if they picked Sled,RHEL or any other distro under the sun as I already have a retailer to buy from.

A couple reasons come to mind:
1. No need to add another distro into the support mix.
2. HP may be aware that not everyone loves Ubuntu, and they intend to provide alternatives.
