Usually, organizations would want to manage all of then from a single interface and keep the devices locked down. Chromebooks usually won't allow you to tamper with the OS in any way. (not easily, anyways)

I mean, you can't have kids playing video games on a school-issued laptop in the back of the classroom, right?

Plus, only a large corporation could even provide the device support like repairs and stuff. Unless small companies can manage to provide support for schools around the country (or even the world, depending on how large they want to expand), for the mean time, its seems like Chromebooks have won. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
