That is from Debian and all child distros inherit it by default, not just Ubuntu.

If you want to nitpick, it was first done by Ubuntu and then later upstreamed into Debian (from which other child distros, as you correctly point out, inherit it).

In fact, only dash is supported as /bin/sh on Debian and Ubuntu.
