I think chromebooks kind of pivoted and now cater to the school markets and mass deployments rather than individuals. They must have realized they're not gonna blow proprietary drivers and native x86 based archs out of water and offered the low cost wholesale devices to education. It's probably a good strategy when you get them vertically integrated with G Suite for edut (which is free) and just lure all the students in US Schools to get used to Google products instead of all schools teaching using MS Office. Long way to go before they can actually replace MS Windows, macOS for games, photo editing, video editing, coding (althought that's close) or such.
