So if I understand what you're saying, if someone asks you "Hey, could you recommend me a general purpose Linux distribution?", you'd recommend them Ubuntu Server rather than just straight up Ubuntu?

I'd agree both could be used in a general-purpose way, but I'd definitively call one of them more general-purpose than the other.

If they need a general purpose distro for a server, absolutely.

That would likely be a better recommendation than android.

95% of my VM's run Ubuntu Server LTS, so yes, that is what I would recommend if I was a recommending person.
