Given the big difference between mobile and desktop Chrome, and the fact that this is "Chrome"OS, it can be an interesting story. I don't many people (anyone?) want to run mobile Chrome on a laptop screen.

I suspect it wouldn't be a lot of effort to make android chrome have the full desktop UI. The Chromium codebase is all one piece, and rendering of the UI is already unified between mac/windows/linux, so making the android build render a desktop-like UI is probably a simple job. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the right set of build flags can do it already.
If I plug my s24 to my dock, I can use it with my big screen, most apps don't have a problem with this mode.
It's not just about rendering sizes. There are no extensions for Mobile Chrome, as an example.
I think that was a business choice to prevent adblockers and web-extension-malware.
