Not the parent, but: ChromeOS isn't what I'd call a web-based OS. It supports Android apps, and that's how you get a lot of things that don't have web versions. Not much different from how Ubuntu can run Chrome and also supports native apps.

Good point. Since I've never owned a Chromebook, I didn't even know that they are capable of installing arbitrary Android apps.
