Ubuntu has a policy not to ship proprietary drivers and codecs. It is a
question of philosophy. Several distributions do offer these things working
out of the box. An example of such a distro is Linux Mint. Rather than
suggesting Ubuntu change, you need to change distros.

You might want to note that most Linux users do not agree with you and
mentioning it in the way you did may cause a flame war. The Linux way is to
allow users to choose what they want rather than forcing things on people.
You may have noticed or ignored the lack of EULAs when you installed.
Windows users are so used to them that they just click through them and may
cease to pay attention to them. They are major irritants to most Linux users
who feel that they have no place in Linux. People who want them can still
get these things, but it should not be forced on people who find them
offensive. That is the way Ubuntu does it. No EULAs because everything is
under GPL (except Mono which I still don't get how they can rationalise
shipping. Don't get me started on this).

I am not sure how Mint handles it. Are their EULAs to click through or are
they just ignored? I don't know because I don't use Mint. If there are EULAs
then this would keep many Linux users away but would attract ex-Windows
people who appear to like them. To each his/her own.
