What's non-standard about them, and compared to what exactly?

  They don't use UEFI/ACPI like every other PC.

    They use ACPI. Not using UEFI was a perfectly reasonable choice. The bootloader is fully open source, led to improvements in boot speed and security. Booting non-chromeos images is possible and reasonably well documented. A standard bootloader may seem nice from an interoperability standpoint, but I'm not sure UEFI is a great place to land.
