That won't happen. It's easier to fix Ubuntu than to fix Pop. Plus Canonical has just much better engineering and resources, and have been in this game for longer. The only reason People prefer Pop is because of its theme (I find it hideous, but to each their own), that it's marketed towards gamers (I don't think there are any significant performance differences between both) and that it comes with Flatpaks instead of Snaps.
People just hate Ubuntu because of Snaps.
