A lot of developers dunk on Google for Chrome pushing people to sign in to their Google account for sync.
For elderly non-tech folks like my Dad's close friend, signing into Chrome Profile/Sync (whatever it's now called) is like "signing into the internet". "I can check my e-mail, browse the internet".
