Annnnnd in my case, running very complicated scripts provided by genius level volunteers to overwrite the bootloader (to Libreboot I think?) so it could accept a Linux OS because Chrome OS told my mother in law:

"We decided we're done caring. Throw this device out and buy a brand new one."

She's been happily running Mint and getting her browser and security updates ever since.

Chromebooks and ChromeOS were an e-waste generating scheme from the start.
