While this is true, I think a consumer gLinux (i.e. a Debian spin with support from Google) would be more appealing to Vendors than Ubuntu and similar just because of brand recognition.
I think Google had the opportunity to accidentally displace some of the Windows monopoly, not by doing a land grab a la ChromeOS or Android, but instead by just releasing a version of something they use themselves which would be appealing to like minded developers and companies that would follow Google's 'stamp of approval'.
