One way it affects it is to reduce the overall market for Chrome apps, reducing the incentive to make an app in the first place.

  Exactly. I doubt most of the ChromeApps that exist today were made for ChromeOS. They were made because it was an easy and straight forward way of making a webapp on the desktop. Now, as OP mentions, everyone is moving to Electron and NWJS, neither of which works directly on ChromeOS. The only upside I can see is that CrOS is soon going to support running Android Apps which may save it, but even then... Maybe they'll figure out a way to run Electron/NWJS apps on ChromeOS?

    Maybe Google is looking to run Android apps in chrome?

    This might also motivate better support for running ChromeOS apps under standard Linux.

  The massive ChromeOS market as compared to the Chrome extension app store?
