This is likely them not wanting to continue updating/building/testing against all those models. (But the end result sucks )
nostr:npub1psdfxfpxz2cwmmnsk60y3nqpn2tqh9n24h4hstvfkwvr6eaek9js499sr7 as far as I can tell, the CPU and architecture of my Chromebook I got in 2018 is still in newer machines being sold with an EoL in the future
So not sure why it was necessary, apart from an arbitrary "buy a new Chromebook" push

It should still be penalized when it's sold for a profit. (ChromeOS is based on a Linux kernel and can have a full Linux userland installed, so there's ZERO excuse for this inflexibility.)
