It is reasonable to consider an RPi4 to be quite capable of being a
desktop even w/ an OS which is relatively 'inefficient' (bloated?)
compared to the choices for earlier RPi/s such as 3B.

I think Ubuntu should be congratulated for accepting a role in
supporting ARM such as RPi4.

However, there is a much bigger picture that involves support for ARM
devices of much less resources - that would not apply to Ub.

Lighter weight distro/s such as Raspian and others should continue to
get the most attention from ARM devices.
