When region or rack controllers send what operating system they are on they are reporting the Ubuntu core version, not the operating system that is actually running.

LXD is able to get this information correctly when running in a Snap. I recently migrated the controller code to use the same LXD library to get OS information. MAAS is missing some Snap permission which the LXD has as the same code path is being used.
