From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I get your reasoning, a lot of "re-spins" are hidden away on many distros download pages, but saying something like "I don't like Ubuntu because it uses Gnome" is like saying "I don't like Fords because they come with radios".
Regarding PopOS it probably is true because it probably all GUI specific things setup for new users, anything system level wouldn't be changed.
Yea, it's definitely not a good reason to not like Ubuntu. I really never used Ubuntu enough to make a fair opinion of it.
