On the one hand this is really awesome because by opening ChromeOS up to Android apps it becomes much more useful.
The other side of the medal is that this might slow down progress on the open web-platform as developers would rather develop a native android app than put effort to make a web-app.
It somehow funny:
Recent developments around the web platform (service workers, etc) are supposed to make web-apps compete with native apps and even Microsoft is starting to embrace this (web based skype). At the same time now native apps run in the web. It will be interesting how to this will evolve.
It also shows why Google developed NaCL and that it doesn't really matter that it hasn't been adopted by other browsers. Because its main use case is for ChromeOS.
