I don't run my software under Chrome, so I'm not as affected if it had issues with auto-updating (there rarely was anything, which is another point). If Google were playing beta testers with Chromebooks and messing around like MS does, you'd think there would be anything positive written about them ?

Chromebooks also do auto updates, and do it such a way that typical non technical end user finds it difficult to turn off permanently.

That's a good thing too.
