Canonical, the company that has been taking care of Ubuntu, has made many bad choices (including Amazon launcher, telemetry, Snap packages…). Linux Mint rises as an alternative because of these bad decisions.

Oh damn, I wasn't aware. Never using Ubuntu again if they try shit like that. But if Canonical goes under, won't that effect Mint? I mean if it is based on Ubuntu? (If my understand of it is correct)

Mint is Ubuntu based but they also maintain a parallel Debian based Mint (LDME). If Ubuntu died they would just switch focus to LDME.
