As a reference point, I switched from linux to a Pixelbook Go for your critical reasons. I'd have a hard time justifying a higher price. The slightly lower specs have not hindered development, tho sometimes laggy when video call + screen share + heavy website like Jira

Would you pay $15 a year?

I pay 50 to Google per year per machine to provide a ton of control and security over software and access. So the amount is not a problem, but I'd want to maintain the ability to remote manage with my Google Workplace capabilities. They provide his for several OSes, other vendors do as well. You'll want to be workable for that maybe, maybe your niche doesn't care.
