Dunno, seems like if they had just called this a "Nexus" and not a "Pixel" most of your points would fall apart, no?

It's a 10" Android Tablet. Looks nice enough I guess. Don't really see what it has to do with ChromeOS or the Chrome Books other than the reuse of the name.

And re: the Apple point, this is pretty much exactly as "incremental" over a ChromeOS device as an iPad is with over a MacBook.

Pixel-C probably was supposed to run on ChromeOS.

According to Google [1], "Pixel is Google designed hardware; Nexus is hardware we work closely with partners to design".

Google specifically bragged about the Pixel C's odd screen ratio as being designed to run side-to-side apps at a specific aspect ratio. That indicates either an Android feature set not currently available, or a Chrome OS one. The device was clearly not designed to run Android as it exists now.
