And when that support period ends… I just install the next Debian release.
When the support period for ChromeOS ends, I’m “officially” out of luck.
I have a 13 year old laptop that runs current Linux distros without a problem.

You can install Linux on that old Chromebook, same as you can today. I think also CloudReady could be used. Or Chromium is open source so that custom buildsay be feasible just like with custom Android ROMs.
