I'm confused what has this list:

apt, ssh, rsync, find, grep, awk, sed, sort, xargs, md5sum, gpg, curl, wget, apache, mysql, python, perl, ruby, php, gcc, tar, vim, emacs, diff, patch...

to do with Ubuntu?

They are programs which are included in the Ubuntu distribution.

And OS X, and BSD, and OS2 and AmigaOS and probably one million other OSses.

Strictly speaking: none of those commands were "included in the distribution" when it came to OS/2. There were of course ports of those commands to OS/2, which one could install. But none of those came in the box.

I believe that that was also true for AmigaDOS, even the post-Commodore versions, but I don't have the firsthand knowledge to state it unequivocally.
