It seems the Android compatibility is made in a container, perhaps docker.
And if they want to open source it, it would be as easy as to install the container and the OS.
I do not think they would fear the 2% GNU/Linux desktop as competence to their Chromebooks OS,
Even more it can be an ally for not to buy MS WOS laptops and or boxes and let MS WOS users try something similar to a Chromebook as GNU/Linux can be.

Will we read BENCHMARKS from CROUTON's wine VS Android's CrossOver with Intel and ARM Chromebooks before reading MS WOS vs WINE vs GNU/Linux here?

I think it does not see much people making very different child distros as its supposed to run like a web-kiosk, so 99% of the functionality comes from the browser (chrome/ium) not from the system itself.

I don't know if it is opensource or not. If it is opensource it can be adapted to other distros, but I don't know how easily as ChromeOS is a very special linux distro, they don't always follow usual distro standards.

Wait, are Android apps already supported now on ChromeOS? If so, why don't they run on other distros too, or is ChromeOS not just a Linux distro?

That awkward moment where a linux-based OS can run more Windows applications than Linux applications... (of course, that's assuming you're not running a VM of some sort).
