Sure, someone who can't wait a couple of days for a fix (I'm not saying
it's not a valid concern) will use Ubuntu with thousands of
unmaintained packages in universe with tons of unfixed security issues
:)
I don't think security is the reason why people choose it over other
distributions.
I know of several sites that use Ubuntu with the universe component
disabled and only use packages from main specifically because they are
well-supported by the security team. That does not necessarily make up a
majority of their users, but it's definitely a reason why some people
use it.
