Those are considered professional software and these are considered toys.

I think the point was that Google is trying to position these as an alternative to laptops running the well-established OSs, but that makes no sense when it can't do what can be done on those others.

Google's product history is readily available. Anyone that willingly buys one of these deserves all of the inevitable headaches.

The problem with alternatives is they have to be alternative, otherwise they are the same, which is not alternative.
