Hey, unity did some really nice and unique stuff!
But I believe more in System76 than Ubuntu to make this work. They seem to have a genuine focus on ease of use and streamlining stuff. It's also in their direct intrest as all there income comes from selling Linux pc's to real users. With Ubuntu the desktop became more and more of an afterthought as they focused more on servers.
It did! I loved that DE. it was shortly before then that i first installed Ubuntu and Unity just felt fresh and futuristic.
But I think it's as you say - desktop is not the priority for Canonical. I'd add that because of their relative size they try and force their way onto the scene even if the consensus is the other way - see wayland and snaps.
still i after i made the rounds i settled on Pop Os and don't see myself switching any time soon
