You forgot "all the changes from the new Ubuntu 20.04 release," which is a lot. What Xubuntu does is provides an improved user experience on top of Ubuntu so their specific change log will always be rather slim.

That's probably why you're being down voted.

If Xubuntu is a separate distribution, it's safe to assume I'm not independently following Ubuntu and XFCE development -- sell me on the latest features I'll get to see when I upgrade from Xubuntu 18.04, no matter where they're coming from.

The current approach makes it sound like Xubuntu is not worth the separate identity. It's just Ubuntu + upstream XFCE + six new wallpapers.

For reference, here what I find to be a better release post: https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-focal-fossa-release...
