I believe this is because of a vast difference of manpower and popularity between Ubuntu and Qubes. Also taking into consideration the use-case of Qubes when it comes to popularity.
Even what Ubuntu can do is fairly limited. Have a look at their support forums... what you'll see is a whole lot of Nvidia troubleshooting threads. So I believe the difference between Ubuntu and Qubes in this respect is a matter of degree that may not be so great.
The larger problem is that the relationship between Microsoft and large hardware vendors gives a false impression that PCs are made of things that are just made to be "compatible". No - They are made to be compatible with Windows and a lot of the stuff that's inside is based on proprietary secrecy. A subset of models promise to be Linux compatible, but most users don't think to look for these because they labor under the aforementioned false impression.
But I will say - A system labeled as Linux-compatible is a pretty good starting point for Qubes. There is no guarantee, but if it means taking a chance on an unreported make/model then Linux-compatible status improves your chances that Qubes will work.
