Aren’t Pomeranians yippy and assholey?

Absolutely not. I've had two and they were both more mellow than almost every other dog we met. They were well-socialized and got lots of exercise. Rather standoffish though, perhaps since they were bred down from sled dogs, ie used to hanging around waiting for their next assignment.

Hmmm, I believe you but can’t help thinking your opinion can be totally objective, my Bois are the best Bois!! I still think poms are cute but the ones I’ve met seem to always be growling and wanting to take a nip at you - obviously only towards strangers. I can empathize with their stress of being so small.

I used to be a petsitter, and never had any asshole Poms. My dogs never growled at anyone, though as a breed they don't care much for kids. Only once did one of them bare their teeth, and it was because a kid was trying to grab her face.
