I suppose I've been reading third party documentation.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chrome_OS_devices/Chrom...

Along with the link above indicates otherwise. Are these websites both wrong?

I did completely overwrite the firmware for my Acer c720 (by removing that write protect screw) but I assumed that was an exception.

The write protect screw (or a similar mechanism) exists and works the same way on every Chromebook.
