That's true, but installing a whole new desktop environment also kind of goes against the whole "ease of use" part. If someone's going to go to a whole different flavor they might as well just use something like Mint or Mint DE unless they specifically need Ubuntu for a dev environment or program/driver compatibility. That way they can still get the ease of use benefit but without dealing with all of the weird oddities that Ubuntu can introduce.

Yeah I just find for newer users the amount of Ubuntu support has always been a huge plus if you're just getting in to messing with Linux. It's a lot better now but it used to be things like "how to do x on Ubuntu," there would always be some super easy to follow tutorial. My personal preference is just a Debian install but the more catered experiences like Mint and Ubuntu do a great job at presenting Debian to daily users without any hassle.
