Why don't Android tablets use ChromeOS?

I own both and have a fair bit of tablets under me, but now I can finally see the stark difference between the two now since I own a chromebook as well. It is clear that Android is not really optimised for larger screen like tablet anymore, that's why my last memorable tablet is a Tab S 10.5 and I do not see any reason to buy one too .

IMO, Android tablet is just an oversized phone with no real benefits in productivity at all. It doesn't provide any improvement from a phone, besides larger scre...

Cost of Android updates per year (cost of phones per year of security updates, from today)

I've been looking for a phone with long (assured) security updates and decided to make a little table, including some recently released Pixel and Android One phones (3 years of security updates). The price the used price based on a quick ebay UK search, that seemed the fairest to use (and relevant to me).

Pixel times are taken from Google, Android One assumes 3 years updates and Wikipedia release dates

I think an app locking feature should be created on Android

All of the apps that claim to do it aren't secure, easily bypassed, and take up way too many resources. It would be nice to see that become an official feature so I can be sure if someone steals my phone my information and data is secure even if they get it unlocked. What do you guys think?...
