Pop!_OS, as I understand it, is based on Ubuntu, which itself is derived from Debian.

How running Debian be different? I run Pop!_OS on two machines so I'm willing to test a new setup if there is something inherently better about it.

POP is dependent on ONE company (System76) which made a distribution in top of Ubuntu which is dependent on ONE company, too (Canonical)... Pretty many points of failure imho though still working well.

If you just run Debian you will have less layers of things that can go wrong

Gotcha. That makes sense. I've installed lots of distros derived from Debian but never the thing itself. I may finally give it a try next time I upgrade a machine.
