They don't really need to unify anything. What they need to do is add a few bits and bobs to Android to make it provide a Chrome OS-like experience, and just throw ChromeOS away. Maybe they will find some use in some of the resources used around booting, or some drivers, but the latter thing is mostly already in Android.
Literally the only reason ChromeOS exists at all is that Chrome for Android wasn't very good at the time, and they needed an OS which could run the desktop version of Chrome. ChromeOS and Android have different device management systems, and Google has been putting their effort into the Android management software lately. Now that Chrome on Android is about as good as it is on the desktop, they can retire their redundant Linux distribution and its management tools and save themselves a lot of duplicated effort.
