Vertical integration works really well to control quality of your platform if you have the resources to make it happen. You _could_ make the argument that System76 is too small of a company to financially make this work, but the payoff is a better product.

I don't think anyone can claim seriously that PopOS is "tailored" for their PCs any more so than for other PCs. Ubuntu will probably run equally well on those PCs.
The key is that the QA team validates all kernel updates and other changes on all System76 systems, and provides professional support that you can reach out to that are experienced with providing support for Pop.

This is what I'm wondering about, but I'll take your word for it. Thanks!
