About that. Most people are great with having access to Android apps on their Chromebook... Android apps let you do work on a Chromebook (example:video editing) where a local app really helps. Some Android apps work really well. Others not so much... That is because the developer hasn't done what needs to be done to make their app behave with freeform window mode. Those that don't either grab the whole screen or run in a phone sized window. Android has always had mouse support (original Android phones had a touch screen and trackball). Apps that do support freeform window mode work really well on ChromeOS, too. Ok, so why even have freeform window mode? Well, that is because Android has a "desktop mode" that is supported by some Android 10+ devices. If you have a USBC/HDMI/USB adapter (same thing you use with newer macs), you can plug your phone in and use it like a desktop. It's not great, but it is surprisingly useful, especially when an airline loses your laptop bag.
