If you have truly been involved in "desktop Linux and digital audio production (on Mac and Windows) since the mid-90s" you will surely realise editing audio files on Audacity is completely different from playing back digital audio, and the necessity to share that audio device across multiple apps.
And we are talking about a vanilla install of Ubuntu here, for use as a general purpose machine, not a dedicated audio player. Sure, it's possible to remove PulseAudio from the system. That will break many applications, including all music players based on gstreamer. Including Rhythmbox, the native player for Ubuntu.
