The other thought is to wonder how many of those Ubuntu repository hits are from servers - I started using them on servers rather than Debian back in 2020, I think, because they do do some things noticeably better than pure Debian unsurprisingly given this is where the income comes from - and so don't really count as 'desktop Linux'.
Of the rest, a bunch are going to be downstream distros like Linux Mint which sort of count for counting them as 'Ubuntu' and sort of don't.
