Yeah but I'm wondering why Google is giving out ChromeOS at (presumably) no cost to hardware vendors. That means they must make their money from the customer somehow through e.g. extensive tracking.

Sure, that's why one of the options we consider might be Ubuntu. Chromebooks were fast and cheap solutions to start with.
