Google plans to deprecate ChromeOS in favor of Android:

ChromeOS runs sandboxed Linux via Crostini:

ChromeOS also runs Android apps since the ChromeOS app store was essentially deprecated.

For Android to replace ChromeOS it needs to be able to run sandboxed Linux similar to the way ChromeOS does.



Oh, this makes sense, thanks!

I don't really get why people would want to use ChromeOS, but that's another topic :-).
