Don’t forget that part of what’s wrapped into that premium is excellent support & warranty along with the development of firmware and Pop!_OS. It’s more than just the hardware. It’s ensuring you can rely on that hardware to work end to end.

So you buy a cheap Clevo with support & warranty, for the same price you buy a high-end laptop from other OEMs.

It's still a cheap Clevo, right?

Is it really? I mean, besides the colossal price tag hike for a rebranded Clevo.

If all you want is a cheap Clevo then you can get the same end result for much less.
