The article mentions Chrome OS Flex, which is a version that doesn't require the Google security chip so it runs on a regular Intel PC. That is "de-Googled" I suppose, though I am not sure about the security implications that you mention.

De-googled as in not tied to a Google account and its web services. Look at something like ungoogled-chromium.

Has been bought out by Google though and it's now part of their enterprise products to install ChromeOS on non-Chromebooks.

You lose secure boot when using ChromeOS flex. It's also not "degoogled".
