The amount of Chromebooks that go to waste in K-12 schools is insane. So it is nice to see Google taking action on this, especially since its largest market are schools.
You're saying it like they didn't create this problem in the first place.
Also, you know what would've been a better solution? If you can install whatever you want to install (e.g. Linux or Windows) like you can with regular laptops.
Oh in no way am I saying that Google is a good guy here. I’m sure that if it were up to them, they would keep the current status quo.
They are only doing this due to the pressure they’re getting for their poor track record of supporting their devices. But it is still a step in the direction nonetheless.
