I wonder if there's a bit of a bias considering pretty much Ubuntu's main source of support is via AskUbuntu which is on StackExchange.

but the results just scream junior web dev to me.

In general it seems odd that they've got Windows and Mac as monoliths, while the various distros are broken out individually but "Linux" is apparently not an aggregate.
