This is either trolling, or a serious misconception. Assuming good
faith (i.e. the latter): Debian is "universal" because it runs on a
huge range of architectures. The others you mentioned aren't, because
they don't.

Also, Debian is universal in a different sense: it's the upstream root
of an enormous family of distros, of which Ubuntu is just one.
