As I understand it, you can install software onto a Chromebook or
similar by putting the device into developer/non-signed-boot mode, after
which it is similar to installing stuff on a Gentoo box.  Even without
resorting to that, one could always SSH into a "proper" GNU system with
an Emacs server installed; this is what I have long done on work
computers (usually Windows boxes) that don't permit me to install
software.  There is a working SSH client in the Chrome Web Store.

Other than that, I think the cause is basically hopeless; a Chromebook
is a Tivoized device.
