Because Ubuntu isn't Linux and Linux isn't an operating system. Linux is a kernel. You'll note the lack of 'Gnome', 'Xorg' and 'PulseAudio' too on the front page. Because 'Linux' is a toxic brand in the desktop space. Anything that can convince users that what we have here isn't Linux, the better. Otherwise we face resistance from people who tried redhat 6 back in 1999 and didn't like it and think we offer the same. I'm more chaffed by the lack of 'Free Software' or 'Free and Open Source' on the homepage. That shows a lack of support more than including the word 'Linux' there.
