This itself is a dealbreaker (and probably a recipe for some litigations in future).
This paragraph in particular shows a confusing lack of understanding:
"The name itself is deliberate. ChromeOS came from Chromium — a metallic element ending in "-ium." Aluminium follows the same pattern, but the British spelling highlights the prefix Al, standing for Android-Linux: an honest acknowledgment of what this platform is built on."
The British spelling does not in fact highlight the fact that the word starts with "Al" any more than the American spelling would. By this point in the page I got angry and stopped reading, because it's a waste of my time.
Edit: if this is a parody, it makes way more sense. I fell for it!
