"Because others do it" is not the argument. The argument is that Ubuntu seeks to be a more mainstream operating system. It is not entirely illogical to suggest that mainstream users would expect an 'alternate' operating system to behave in a similar fashion to the operating system with which they are familiar. Finally, when the full overarching design is considered, sound design greatly integrates immersion and helps to communicate the overall design pattern. Granted, Ubuntu is woefully short on this design scheme -- but that isn't to suggest that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.
