It's true that Ubuntu remains broken trough it's entire lifespan. Why is that? To not get new bugs? It's very troubling and unsatisfying.

Because it only attracts the deadweight from the Windows base - the real developers stay with what they had before ;-)

Not enough developers who know what they're doing. Plenty of folks running around trying to triage bugs and getting stuck, not so many folks who know how to code, let alone code well. If left to hack, they're more efficient, but then folks like me who want to learn and have patches to fix those annoying issues keep interrupting them going "hey hey can you upload this patch?" and breaking their concentration. Patch acceptance procedures are being streamlined to try to fix that.
