The thing about Chromebooks is that the state is always consistent and your settings follow you. That's much harder to attain with Windows laptops (not impossible mind you, there is software that will revert a Windows machine back to a set state, but that isn't common/standard).
O365 is a great package for organisations (e.g. Planner, Teams, OneNote Online, Lync, etc) but in that situation you're giving employees laptops to keep as their own. In schools you want the machines to be disposable, in that situation Chromebooks are special.
OneDrive is just a DropBox clone, it doesn't really solve many pain-points.
I do wonder when some form of revised windows will come along that does away with 16-bit/32-bit legacy stuff, removes all the ancient API's and just focuses on the here and now. Breaking hard is of course not really Microsoft's way, as they make far more money by keeping legacy and tradition around, touting 'business support'.
Second reason: The only place to discover and install the new apps is on the store which has bad, awful, pitiful search to using google or even bing. I don't know why MS doesn't leverage Bing in the store.
Lastly, in my locale and surrounding countries, sharing EXES is still necessary because of internet speed and data limits.
Ms removed the Small text size download links in the store. And their TOS prohibits development of apps to download them.
To give a context of importance of UWP/Metro installation files downloadability:
A customer walks into my shop and buys a new Android phone. And after that asks me to fill up the phone with apps like dictionary, bible, WhatsApp, anti-virus, games... for a fee.
The same happens with Windows desktop portion. But this isn't feasible with the new apps - internet cost and download time.
And it was one chief reason why Windows Phone didn't take off - at least in my country.
A friend return a chrome book last year simply because he couldn't just copy apps from others (like on windows).
onedrive is a dropbox clone with office integration that makes it really easy to save your documents.
