The Taiwan Chinese language support is included on an Ubuntu

I think you misread. I select Taiwan Chinese on install, but it does
NOT automatically install those extra packages. I agree it should.
But, it doesn't until I go to Language settings.
If you are connected to internet when installing, and for most flavors,
it should install the related language support packages automatically.
In case of Ubuntu (with Unity), those packages should be installed
automatically even without an internet connection.
If that does not work, please file a bug report and include enough
information to make it possible for someone who investigates the issue
to reproduce the behavior. You can file such a report to
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+filebug>
for now.
gcin bug report, I'll look at that. This is what it would be: gcin
worked in 15.10 Unity but hid under the app search fuzz, broke as of
16.04 Unity, still broke; worked in 16.04 GNOME, but GNOME's Chinese
packages completely broke around October and have to install that
long list manually.
There may be flavor specific issues. Anyway, as already said:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcin/+filebug
I'm wearing the "reporter" hat, just passing on what the Taiwanese
tell me. Not my opinion. I would vote for fcitx; they don't. It's all
about the speedy, no-looking workflow. gcin, hands-down,
Your hint about some Taiwanese users preferring gcin over Fcitx has been
noted. Making gcin default for typing Traditional Chinese would be a big
change and won't likely happen soon.
