My wife has never owned a windows laptop; she's been on Chromebooks exclusively since 2017.

I don't know how far apart the ratio is, but now you know one more ;)

Chromebooks are an US phenomenon.

In Europe you hardly see them on sale across traditional chains.

And when they happen to be there, regular shop visitors will notice how their section gets increased promotions until they finally manage to get rid of them.

As an Australian, I think you're wrong :).
I think a big driver of US Chromebook adoption is schools purchasing fleets of them, introducing Chrome OS to families. Are European schools not buying Chromebooks?
ok
