You probably have not been using OTG on those platforms. There are no 
phones/tablets out there with Ubuntu (apart from a few you can flash 
yourself) that have OTG. Actually very few mobile devices actually 
support it, and even then most of those not out of the box but with 
hacks and mods for the power etc...

Indeed some Ubuntu supported phones do, with mods most of the time. 
Although they are more exception than rule.

Otoh there has been experimenting going on the Jolla to support host 
mode. (Which is OTG like, in the sense that the port gets manually 
switched and it does not deliver power unlike a real OTG port.)

More experimenting with this is expected to happen on some coming Jolla 
hack day to see if it can be made to work.
