A lot of US based students were provisioned Chromebooks by their schools.

"Against will" probably only applies to the families with people technical enough to understand what having an enterprise managed Chromebook that their child has to be on for 8 hours a day means.

Office workers too. Lot of Chromebooks plus Citrix being used on couches out there still.

Google sent me one when I was evaluating google cloud. I ended up using neither.

It was a very low grade HP chromebook that was shamed by the performance of a raspberry pi 3b. I have been thinking of gutting it and installing a pi inside to make a pibook.
