It does say welded joints, ceramic brake tracks.

Was this a new Kickstarter startup company from about 3 years ago? Do they have their own their own production facilities? Or, is this another one of those projects of grand-designs, but Chinese Imports?

You are measuring the hop in the actual rolled bead edge, and not just the brake track machining, right?

I agree with others (and my previously stated opinion). Overall, this probably won't make much difference.

However, it just seems to be low quality for a company marketing themselves as a premier manufacturer.

Keep with the company, noting the end product quality is just not acceptable for their marketing point. Perhaps they just had a lapse of attention to QA/QC.
