    I completely agree. The OP ignores the fact that Chromebooks run on Linux, and are essentially a gateway to it. There’s even official support for sideloading any Linux distro of choice.

          The Chromebooks that kids use at school aren’t going to have Linux on them, nor will they have a useful terminal? The operating system abstractions kids learn with Chromebooks are basically useless

            The Windows computers I used in school were locked down too, no terminal access or even basic settings. Google wants them to grow up and buy their own Chromebooks, and my point is that it is accessible then.
