> it is a serious issue, because basically Ubuntu is telling users that you need to have Ubuntu Pro in order to have a properly secured system, otherwise Ubuntu leaves you with vulnerabilities.

Let me rephrase, you think it's a serious issue to tell users that they are using software with security vulnerability and to propose them a free service to get fixes for those issues and you would prefer the system to be quiet and let them use keep using unpatched software instead?

To be clear Ubuntu doesn't leave you with vulnerabilities more today that it has for last twenty years, there is just a new program available today which give you access to more fixes than existed before (and it is for free for personal use) and the UI is there to help users to discover it and allow those who want to opt in for more security fixes.

If your point is that Canonical/Ubuntu should now support the LTS versions for 10 years instead of 5 and include universe and that for free, sure it would be nice right but that extra support has a cost and those extra security engineers don't work for free either...
