Because news sites want page reads and any sensationalistic news with
Ubuntu in the name and some potential of controversy will generate page
views, traffic, ad impressions... this is journalism.
The good thing it came public just one day (IIRC) after the bad news
about us and the PackageKit fiasco, so it distracted the public flames

I am worried about this tendency, from both Fedora and Ubuntu, of
dumbing-down the desktop spins: if Windows does not offer any useful
application out-of-the-box,our key to success is NOT to lower to the
same level and also offer nothing useful as the OOTB experience.
