No Ubuntu is a full Linux distribution with a large upstream package ecosystem, release engineering, and hardware enablement work, which requires a large team of specialist maintainers.
What it would actually take: A real version means maintaining a Debian-derived distro: package build infrastructure, kernel and driver integration, the GNOME desktop stack, and mirrors and security updates at global scale. It requires a large team of Linux kernel, packaging, and desktop engineers plus substantial hosting and release resources.
