My mother is technologically impaired. Her last (Windows Vista) laptop was a nightmare from the day she got it. She absolutely loves her Chromebook. All she uses it for is online shopping/banking/emails, so it is perfect for her.
True, but unless Google starts militarising or something the only thing they can do with my mothers data is target some ads at her. Which she will completely ignore since she will only buy things from the same 2 or 3 sites she has visited for the past 10-15 years.
Same reason here. I convinced both of my parents to get Chromebooks over the last few years, and the number of “service calls” I get from them have dropped drastically.

absolutely agree but don’t forget that google tracks everything

I know it’s unlikely for your mother, but a very real risk is a government forcing Google to hand over your data.
