It’s not like the exact same product team threw Stadia in the bin, took a step over to a counter, pulled off a sheet covering a laptop and said “tadaah!”
Actually, that is the exact level of cynicism people should have about this.

I am once again reminding you not to buy a chromebook.
If you need to use everything in a browser with a persistent cloud storage and the ability to press a button and undo all your bad choices/Ls and the existing operating systems implementations of those technologies aren’t acceptable and you are okay with chromeos, install it on an existing laptop with an ssd.
All of these things are available with i5 and one with an i7 cpu. These are just laptops that you pay someone to cripple with shifty software good god.
It’s worse than that. The hardware in a chromebook requires a much more complex process to install something other than chromeos on it. In my experience, that involves several commands screwing with the flash memory and removing a physical screw and in three examples reflowing the solder tinned pads the screw was impinging on because it mushed them into contact that remained even after removal.
And that’s just to get linux on one.
