TLDR: commits indicate ChromeOS will be able to host virtual machines. This still fits the "device for google internal use that they also sell outside" model since the Pixel 2013, with perhaps increasing emphasis on selling outside. Making ChromeOS a stable, durable hypervisor that also hosts other OSes (better linux support than Crouton, and possibly adding windows support) just makes it an ever-more viable replacement for those-other-companies' high-end laptops. Is there any benefit of a VM-friendly ChromeOS retaining Chrome as root-level functionality? Why not move the Chrome-browser-UI into a client VM as well, parallel to Linux and Windows clients?
