They don't make money on the hardware and have no incentive to make the subscription look like a bad deal because of short hardware life cycle.

The hardware manufacturer is a different story. They love nothing better than to collect a laptop price tag on a laptop replacement schedule while only having to deliver a chromebook performance and absolutely zero os/software related customer support or windows license.

Yeah aren’t the machines themselves made by Lenovo?

Google just makes the chromeOs?

Several different manufacturers make chromebooks.
