This is because of a very buggy GNU coreutils patch that Ubuntu has used
for decades. I wish it were removed, but my bug report seems to be
redirected to /dev/null:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/2150305

Note that 'uname -a' also gives sloppy output on Ubuntu:

$ podman run --rm ubuntu:24.04 uname -a
Linux 98e5eeb72a38 7.1.13-200.fc44.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Sep  2 
13:58:38 UTC 2026 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is because 'uname -a' lists information for -m, -i, and -p. This is
incorrect. I don't need to know I am using x86_64 with 2 reminders along
with it. :)
