I've heard similar. system76 doesn't build the machines, it comes as a white box that you can buy a bunch of other places and they throw an ssd and wireless in. battery life is also supposedly really bad. just get a MacBook Pro.

xps 9560 still needs an "acpi_osi" kernel arg to get optimus working, but that's it (wrote about it in the other thread)

you can also update the mainboard's thunderbolt firmware in linux, but if you have a thunderbolt dock that needs updating you might need windows (not sure about this). same with the internal toshiba nvme drives. (I have a live usb windows 8 disk for when you need such fw updates, it's rare though. I didnt need any windows env on the newest 9560 i tried to get everything updated...)

seconding xps15, seems to check all your boxes except maybe one the battery is user replaceable, but not swappable (e.g. pull another one out of your bag and pop it in). It's internal but there are no special screws or glue or spudgers involved. the good news is its a 98 watt hour battery so it's gonna run for a long-rear end time
