I see, to give you a point of view i should mention that Chrome OS itself is a Linux, to test what i mean you can press ctrl+alt+t and crosh terminal window will open(it is different than Linux development environment), now type "uname -a" and you'll see which kernel version it is, and it is actually capable of running regular GNU/Linux applications as expected(*See chromebrew for real world example). Why did they chose virtual machine approach for running regular GNU/Linux applications is for babysitting reasons, and embracing web apps as it is made as thin client rather than full blown OS.
And even better Android is a Linux too, and can run inside containers(*like separate operating systems from the same families sharing the same kernel) in every Linux distros you could find, for example Chrome OS' Android container, Anbox, Waydroid, Redroid benefits from that.
