Sometimes not giving users choices is the right call.
As the article states, SuspendToDisk has lots of issues ranging from writing too much to SSDs, suffering from being impractically slow to needing too much swap space and clashing with secure boot to the point that hibernate is unfixable broken on a lot of modern laptops.
Exposing such a feature in a distribution targeting casual users will just cause a lot of confusion and maintenance effort.
I might not agree with every Ubuntu decision, but here Ubuntu clearly made the right call.
If a user knows what they are doing, nothing ever stopped you from calling systemd hibernate, exposing this via GUI is the issue.
Linux Mint is bringing back a feature most Linux distributions quietly gave up on years ago: hibernation.
