Thanks for taking the time to file this bug and trying to make Ubuntu
better.
ubuntu-advantage-tools does not provide only a way to enable ESM, it
also provides a bunch of other services (from the project README):
"The Ubuntu Advantage client provides users with a simple mechanism to
view, enable, and disable offerings from Canonical on their system. The
following entitlements are supported:
Common Criteria EAL2 certification artifacts provisioning
Canonical CIS Benchmark Audit Tool
Ubuntu Extended Security Maintenance
FIPS 140-2 Certified Modules
FIPS 140-2 Non-Certified Module Updates
Livepatch Service
"
Those other services might be useful in non-EOL releases. Due to that,
the package is installed by default in all supported releases.
