Google confirms it's 'combining' Chrome OS and Android into a single platform (androidauthority.com)

Also combine fuchsia while you are at it. You don’t need so many operating systems

Does this mean that Chromebooks are going to suddenly have to deal with the bullshit hardened security posture of Android?

Am I not going to be able to root my Chromebook or put another operating system on it now? Will I have to worry about SafetyNet attestation?

Will the recent crippling of AOSP also hinder development of further support for Chromebooks now?

This is a bit of a darker day for the Chromebook ecosystem.
