It wasn't, has never been, has never even been intended to.
Hence, the target has always been "enthusiasts, geeks, developers, fans and open source software advocates" (or, differently said, people that know the name "Ubuntu"). So Android performance is irrelevant, because it was never supposed to get support from people decided to buy an Android (or an iPhone).
And in the population that knows what Ubuntu is, yes, a significant portion is sensitive to Canonical's reputation, and its behavior towards the community and its current users.
