One more reasoning: fsck is called DESPITE the settings of tune2fs. By default "Maximum mount counts" equals -1 which means that fsck shouldn't run at all. If this parameter is set to some positive value fcsk should run periodically but not on every start. Less experienced users may think that they've got real problems with their disk because of these checks on every boot.

Installation run without any issues but now on every boot I notice a message "Press Ctrl+C to cancel all filesystem checks in process" on the Plymouth screen with Kubuntu logo. It flashes quickly and disappears. I've got fast NVMe drive so I cannot say for sure whether it runs any checks or not. I booted from LiveCD and performed fsck checks of all my partitions: fsck.vfat /dev/nvme0n1p1 (EFI partition) fsck.vfat /dev/nvme0n1p2 (Dell service partition, not mounted) e2fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p3 (Root partition) e2fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p5 (Home partition) These checks showed no problems. I changed mount counter to set periodic checks: sudo tune2fs -c 29 /dev/nvme0n1p3 sudo tune2fs -c 30 /dev/nvme0n1p5 But despite these settings this message still appears on every boot.
