A Bug Is a Bug, but a Patch Is a Policy: The Case for Bootable Containers
No download. I have a good connection.
- Installation is slow. REally slow. They blame it on btrfs. But the same for XFS. It took at least 30 min. Why?
- rpm-ostree - same.

No I don't want to turn on Windows Backup with One Drive
I would vote for Bluefin: https://projectbluefin.io/
It's very similar to Bazzite, which you listed, but not gamer focused. You get an easy install, auto updates (without reboots), and a bulletproof, immutable OS that is nearly impossible to break.
If you want bling and tiling, Omarchy is the new hotness: https://omarchy.org/

Bluefin LTS Is Released
As soon as Fedora/Centos updates their images (pretty much immediately usually as it's upstream of EL), and the CI runs to re-layer the Bluefin changes. They also have Dependabot set up. https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/actions
It's just OCI images, like any web-scale project.

Project Bluefin Linux
Even if the particular script is not used, the just file there is actually much worse.
Literally everything is running scripts directly from the internet, without any version pinning or check summing.
There is no way to run the same build twice and have any confidence that the result was the same.

Wow - Ubuntu is so much more "batteries included" - any other distro like this?
Universal Blue is very specifically a "batteries included" Fedora-based distribution, and one of their image also very specifically caters to Ubuntu migrants (bluefin).

Loved Ubuntu's extensions and themes but hated the base. Finally Ubuntu on my favourite base, Fedora!
