Keep in mind that PEX is not QEST. I can elaborate further but really just Google the differences.
Also realize that the tubing used in these installations is first and foremost comparatively CHEAP. These tubes are designed for stationary fixed locations. Some technological improvements have allowed for features such as chemical resistance and temperature resistance while also ensuring compliance with drinking water standards. Long story short these capabilities are achievable in many other products, just not other cheap products. Check out McMaster-Carr for ideas on alternative pipe, tube, and fittings. I am a big advocate for Flar-it fittings.
