If you're happy with the process, that's fine. But there are those of us who appreciate that we don't have to do these things with the Chromebooks.

Well, yes. But of those three your point is valid for Java - which ChromeOS refuses to support to maintain its security, but not for the other two.

For iTunes, read any app that you use on the Mac that needs periodic updates. The point being that you don't have those hassles with equivalent apps under ChromeOS.

For anti-virus, the system has defense built in from the ground up, so it is 'included' in that sense - you just don't have the hassle of updates.
