I am also seeing all the easy educational access around Chromebook ecosystem as a long play to secure Google Suite as a de facto desktop publishing app for the next generation.

Kind of like Adobe did with easy piracy of Photoshop during the early versions.

As did Microsoft. They cared about businesses pirating office, teenagers and for home use, not so much.

Ubiquity is it’s own reward.
