From a security perspective, ChromeOS bothers me because it has a much shorter software support lifecycle than the hardware lifespan.
We have ChromeOS devices out there are perfectly able to run the latest ChromeOS in terms of specs but aren't supported anymore by Google because of an arbitrary time-based EOL and therefore will either be browsing the web unpatched or thrown away.
Whereas any other x86 computer from the last 12+ years or so can have up-to-date Windows or Linux put on it.
Another step on our march to disposable everything.
