One theory I heard was that it was a preemptive measure incase they're forced to sell off (or split off or whatever) chrome due to potential antitrust issues they're facing. This would then have some really fucky downstream effects regarding ChromeOS. Or maybe this is something to try to avoid the antitrust issue in the first place? I don't really know and this is all second hand speculation.
