Answer 1

Is there a reason people are not using bento/ubuntu-16.04 ?

See this response: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/7155

the boxes published by canonical under the ubuntu namespace for 16.04 are very broken. They do not follow the recommended guides for how to build a Vagrant box, and they are missing key components such as guest additions, required packages, or they do things like hardcode the hostname to make running concurrent VMs impossible. ... In general, users have had more success with the boxes under the bento namespaces. A common misconception is that a namespace like "ubuntu" represents the canonical space for Ubuntu boxes. This is untrue.

There seems to be many reasons NOT to use the ubuntu/xenial64 boxes and just use a working box from the bento namespace instead of trying to hack the ubuntu namespace boxes to work. The Ubuntu brand may be more comfortable for some people to see, but I think it's broken with Vagrant.
