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!”

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.
