It isn't as secure.

Stock ChromeOS has verified boot, so it cannot be tampered with. Enabling developer mode allows you to modify the system... with the proviso that so can anyone else.

Then again, if you didn't have a Chromebook you wouldn't have verified boot anyway, and how often was your previous computer tampered with... so it isn't all that much of a loss IMO.
