One question from someone who is not very well versed with the current state of things: Is the VW / Ogier dominance down to the Polo R being that much better, or is Ogier just that good?

Both actually. The Polo is a very good developed car and probably the best one in the 1600 cc era, probably the car with most testing and most money put in to it. They actually froze development during their second season just because they were so dominant.
And Ogier is just about as good as Loeb. Latvala, Meeke and Mikkelsen has matched him but he has the consistency like no other driver while also being the fastest one overall. A rumor has it that when VW asked Ogier to join them, they said; "Say a number and we will pay it"
