This was always the case. Main and restricted were guaranteed by Canonical, universe and multiverse fully owned by the community. A bunch of paying customers were unhappy with not getting updates to universe packages, so Canonical made a separate repository that would do that for Ubuntu Pro. Community members with access to the universe repository can still upload fixes there.

Yes, I know. So? Doesn't change the fact that users of Debian/Fedora/... don't have to sign up for a "Pro" service to get the same security updates.
