Why is it impossible to run GNU/Linux on an ARM-based laptop without installing a metric shit-ton of flaky hacks?

Why do I have to chroot a separate install of linux only to have it deleted because the bootloader WIPES THE DEVELOPER PARTITION when you press SPACE on startup?

You have to flash a different BIOS last I checked. I haven't toyed around with ARM chromebooks for almost two years now.
