Am I mussing anything obvious here?
Perhaps this comment from the page you link:
Debian packages for ROS 2 Bouncy (the latest release) are available for Ubuntu Bionic; packages for ROS 2 Ardent are available for Ubuntu Xenial.
There are no .debs for Ubuntu Xenial, no matter the architecture.
See also REP-2000: ROS 2.0 Target Platforms - Crystal Clemmys (December 2018 - December 2019), where Ubuntu Xenial is marked with an [s], meaning:
" [s] " Compilation from source, the ROS buildfarm will not produce any binary packages for these platforms.

OK, that was pretty obvious thing that I've missed. Thanks!

Okay this is pretty misleading because the Tutorial page mentioned by OP wrongly mentions (as of posting this comment) that binaries of Crystal are indeed available for Xenial as well as Bionic!
Comment by gvdhoorn on 2019-08-19:
Can you clarify where you read that?
I only see:
Debian packages for ROS 2 Crystal (the latest release) and ROS 2 Bouncy are available for Ubuntu Bionic; packages for ROS 2 Ardent are available for Ubuntu Xenial.
and:
ROS 2 Ardent (Ubuntu Xenial)

Terribly sorry for the late response, but I hope this is still relevant :
In the page https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Installation/Crystal/ , it says -
Binary packages¶
We provide ROS 2 binary packages for the following platforms:
Linux (Ubuntu Xenial(16.04) and Ubuntu Bionic(18.04))
Debian packages
"fat" archive
OS X
Windows
