Because my work literally forces me to use Ubuntu Desktop on server VMs if I don't want to use Windows. Yes, it sucks, yes, they don't know what they are doing, no, they won't give me other options.

Why are they using the desktop os for servers?

Probably the delusion that any windows admin can manage it if it has a graphical UI.

I've run into this several times

I've seen this before. And half the time they just leave a prompt open anyway...

Believe me, I have no freaking idea. I think someone in the company prepared an image with some security tools for them, and they keep using it since as a starting point.
