Yes, they use it for SSH and programming without worrying about taking care of their hardware. Chromebooks aren't a pain, but I doubt your researcher can run those easily either with such old hardware my 1.6ghz atom netbook probably smokes it and still I wouldn't use it for that.

Most people don't need to run those programs, they're niche, and the normal consumer doesn't care.

Right. Chromebooks are somewhere between a full actual laptop and a tablet or phone. Good for consumers.
