So Ubuntu SSO (the general Ubuntu Login for all of ubuntu websites wiki
etc) got rebranded Ubuntu One Login.  This is just a login mechanism
that allows you access to the current applications and will allow you to
purchase apps in the future.  It is basically the same login you would
of used in Software-center to obtain for purchase apps in the past.

Yes it is deliberate.

No it won't go away.

Final if you get a new ubuntu phone it will hopefully be able to do what
google does with android and set you up with all the apps you have
purchased/installed.
