FTR, Ubuntu Studio is not Ubuntu, it is an Ubuntu derivative.

Would it be fair to say that your main objection is that Ubuntu has
much higher popularity than Debian and so the Ubuntu policy to work
upstream where possible leads people to come to Debian without
necessarily caring about the Debian community or users but more about
Ubuntu users?

Personally, I think over the years Ubuntu's Debian involvement has
been a net positive for Debian, both in terms of packaging and other
technical changes and in terms of attracting new contributors, often
Ubuntu migrants end up contributing to Debian more than Ubuntu. I
think the same goes for derivatives in general.
