      Indeed. And all that goodness is on purpose: Chromebooks are Google’s trojan horse into your private data.

      All Google products are designed to be as attractive and popular as possible so people are drawn to them like flies to a turd and give Google their data. That’s why Google axes so many projects that aren’t quite attractive and popular enough.

      I know the word is overused now, but this is basically endhittification step one.

      And considering it’s Google, I’m not sure there need to be any other steps. They are luring people in as young as they can, establishing patterns with them (using Google services and Google software as soon as possible) and basically guaranteeing customers / surveillance targets for life
