This disagreement is why multiple distros exist. Ubuntu LTS is a reasonable choice for entities that want stability and are willing to accept the occasional migration cost of upgrading to the next LTS (note: this applies to lots of desktop users as well as businesses). Fedora and Arch are reasonable choices if you want cutting-edge software, but come with risks as software changes under them.

> there are a lot more linux users out there than business users

maybe, but there are a LOT more linux servers out there than linux users, if by "linux users" you meant "people running linux on their computers".

those servers (and the people that run them) generally require stability.

would you care explaining what you mean? is it not fair to say that there are many orders of magnitude more instances of linux running on servers than there are instances of linux running on people's home or work computers? that is indisputable, no?
