Hardware Acceleration on Chromebook

Can someone please explain to me why Hardware Acceleration works on my Asus C425 Chromebook with an Intel Core M3 Processor, and not in other Linux distributions without having to spend hours on farting around with drivers just to get a weak comparison?

What the heck?

I would say it's because on chrome os there's one party responsible for the whole software chain to get it working.

On linux theres several different teams with different conflicting ideas and interests that are incapable of working together.

I think the only way to clean up the total mess on linux is for an entity like canonical to bring out the "this is how it's going to be"- whip. But so far they seem totally uninterested  in making the likes of ubuntu into a viable gaming platform.
