the roots of your response may lie in derision, but it is–in essence–accurate.
i did have a chromebook immediately before the mac mini but i switched for two reasons: (1) the androidification of it really slowed things down and (2) i just gave up on chrome as a browser around then.
some of us have such simple needs that a low-powered machine is actually viable. one can understand how that may seem worthy of scorn to other users, but it works for me and i wouldn’t change that behaviour even if it means that i have lost the respect of random internet users.
Asus, Lenovo, Samsung, and HP all sell $1k+ Chromebooks. But I was referring to people spending 2k on a MacBook with 8gb of ram as a glorified Chromebook. Even when insulting Mac users you have to account for the “Apple Tax™”
Lol Chromebook user behavior.

Remember netbooks? I miss those
I need to dig out the eeePC I have. If I could get a netbook with a better screen resolution, it would probably become my daily driver.
I still use my Acer c720 with Mint and FydeOS often when I don’t feel like grabbing my adult laptop. But that’s just got a quick Google or reference.
Sure! Everything you said is valid. However, power users cringe when others pay 2k for a glorified iPhone on an HDMI port.
Who tf is paying $2k for a Chromebook? Most of the ones I’ve seen top out at $500
