I'd be willing to at least consider that for other companies, but not Google. As far as I know, they still make more money from advertising than selling hardware. Pretty sure they're just selling the hardware as a vehicle to transport more data.
So there's no real motivation for them to risk compromising the PR on doing something like this - especially after just hearing that they've extended updates for Chromebooks to 10 years.
Those are just my thoughts on it.
