You can easily run multiple distros of Linux or Windows on them while keeping ChromeOS for light duty tasks.

Also, what's stopping someone from just distributing for free when someone buys it from them?
Coolstar.org
There's a license check built in to the driver that's a bit hard to bypass, and you wouldn't get updates if you pirated it. That said, someone put months of their life into developing these drivers and paying Microsoft for the ability to sign them and it's up to you to decide if you need thunderbolt and built in speakers to work. They provide instructions to get everything else working free of charge. That labor is not baked in to the laptop cost like when you buy an actual windows PC and if you appreciate this sort of hacking you should support it. Save the piracy for the big guys.
before any of that though, check out mrchromebox.tech for the new BIOS/UEFI you'll need to even boot windows.
But with the specs on this machine, I'd consider a touch screen a positive addition, especially if it were mounted in an accessible area with a dashboard-style interface. If this were $200, I'd probably buy it. For $300, I'm not sure.
I realize this would be dismissing the portability of this device, but I have a great laptop already.
It's funny how projects like the one you described can spiral a bit - at least they do for me. I get an idea for a rapsberry pi project with a screen, then start putting items in my shopping cart and realize the pi 4 costs the same as an old x86 laptop that comes with a screen included. Then I start looking into putting debian onto old x86 laptops and gpio pins for it. Haha.
This matters a lot to me. Ugh.
I just messaged the seller to ask if they know.
Unless they reset it without changing batteries, it is a lifetime count.
Beyond that they can't just swap out the battery in every refurb. That would be expensive and a staggering waste of resources.
Hopefully they find and bad ones or heavily used ones and make a swap then.
Has anyone else bought this? I am unhappy with the keyboard for two reasons. One is that the space bar has a bit of a squeak that bugs the crap out of me. And also because in some light the characters on the keyboard keys have a tendency to disappear. In some light, the color of the backlit characters blends almost perfectly with the color of the keys, making it hard to distinguish the characters. If you do not know how to touch type, this keyboard may not be for you. But even if you do touch type, it can be hard to make out the keys when you are looking for the secondary characters on the number row or if you are trying to use the function keys. I wish there was a way to manually turn the keyboard back light off.

I haven't done a comparison between the CX9 to this the CX5, but to me the small bump in price is worth it. The keyboard of the CX9 is nice. The battery health of my refurb unit came in at 100%. Seems to be performing OK so far.

Whether or not it is higher end is really debatable. The CX9 performance specs are fractionally better. Probably not anything you'd ever notice.
The CX9 adds an HDMI port which the CX5 lacks, is about a pound lighter and has a legible keyboard. However the CX5 has a garaged stylus and the screen folds over to use it in tablet or tent mode. If you care about the stylus or tablet/tent modes you could easily make an argument for the CX5 being better than the CX9. The CX9 also has both USB-C ports on the same side, I prefer the CX5 layout with one USB-C on each side.
I just noticed this seller also has a CX9 that is $335 which looks identical to the one I got but with half the storage space. No idea why they would charge more for a model with less storage. Hopefully you got the one with 512GB storage.

Agreed about support small devs who take the time to do this sort of thing. When this Chromebook start getting near end of life, I'll go this route of turning into Win11.
