I get what you mean but it really doesn't mean anything if adoption is poor. I don't like Ubuntu as well but its the most popular and IMO is user friendly and has the best software support. So for someone who isn't technical Ubuntu is still the best option to get started. Its just practical.
Also I don't agree that openSUSE's YaST2 is for non tech beginners. I have seen it and it needs you to know a lot about linux to use it. It is indeed easy and powerful for people who know what they need

Adoption isn't poor though, and even if it were, it'd still mean something.
Why? And "because more people use it" is not a reason.
It is much more so for tech beginners than the terminal is, to which you have to resort frequently in Ubuntu.
