Ubuntu is just tweaked Debian

All packages are recompiled for Ubuntu and Ubuntu has everything in its own repositories. They literally distribute the software. If you just change config files a bit and the software packages still come from Ubuntu, it’s not really your own distribution. It’s Ubuntu and repository accesses still count towards Ubuntu stats.

Microsoft doesn’t hold a copyright worldwide for product names.

Steam uses CEF, Chromium Embedded Framework, not Electron.

I don’t think it uses the web tech to draw the UI.

its own Linux distribution

Tweaking Ubuntu a bit counts and own Linux distribution?

Trademarks don’t matter when it’s only for internal use.
