Chrome OS is also single sign on, with a Google login instead of a Microsoft one. So if a company is looking to wean itself off Outlook/O365/Win11/Teams for Google equivalents then that might be an attractive option for the bean counters.

Work gave me a 'new' reconditioned laptop 6 weeks ago. It is *slow* due to all the monitoring crapware they add to the factory image to keep Windows 11 secure and corporate; I can imagine Chrome OS running faster on cheaper hardware. FWIW we do already have software running in a cloud instance via a web browser, even devs remote into a cloud hosted sandpit these days.
