macOS Setup after 15 Years of Linux

I disagree entirely. If a user's use case would be suited well by ChromeOS, then it's been my experience that Ubuntu or something similar with Firefox or Chromium will suit their needs just as well.

Modern desktop Linux is actually a nice user experience, and contrasts with the poor Linux desktop experience before ~2015.

Do you know anyone like this? All such people I know prefer the UX on iPad.

Are you really implying that all willing Chromebook users would prefer an iPad? Chromebooks just work, they're cheap and replaceable, ephemeral even. The UX isn't amazing but it's pretty damn great.

iPad UX is by far some of the worst UX I've ever encountered. Nothing is obvious or straightforward, so many weird gestures and an overloaded single button.
