Makes sense why they branded these devices as Googlebooks instead of Chromebooks, so the user gets the impression that getting updates is one of the different things among many.
My point is that even though Chromebooks are a 15-year brand, there's no guarantee a Chromebook bought today will support the reconstructed OS successor to ChromeOS coming out in the next 2-3 years.
There's no guarantee a Googlebook will get updated for 2-3 years, you're completely at the mercy of the OEMs.
What a great time for Linux zero-days to start popping up because OEMs won't update the kernels.
