Is there a reason they don't go with Ubuntu or something like that instead?

Linux drivers and certification is a whole lot of extra work and complexity compared to FreeDOS. Years ago, Nettops were sold with FreeDOS where the components didn't support Linux that well.

I guess they don't want to get support's call. DOS looks like firmware for non techies.
