The Chromebook editions use coreboot already, it shouldn't actually be too hard to get it to work on all editions (for Framework). I guess they just have other plans currently.

The Chromebook version comes with coreboot because that's a requirement for all Chromebooks. It would be nice if all editions had that, but IIUC the Chromebook's motherboard is also a bit different.
