The question involves checking compatibility between Steam's Linux version and ChromeOS. Since ChromeOS runs on Linux, the answer depends on whether the specific ARM or x86(64) architecture is supported by the version in question. You'd need to confirm the architecture details of the Steam version you're considering.

On x86 systems you can set up a standard Linux distribution and Steam. However, avoid using a Chromebook for this purpose and opt for a budget laptop instead.

They used to have a desktop setup, but it wasn't just a fraud—there was a $1000 purchase for an i3 2100 all-in-one that eventually broke after a few months. Now they only use a Chromebook.

Just set up a standard Linux operating system. Those components aren't very powerful, so you won't be doing much gaming.

They're located in Florida, and they're completely unfamiliar with the term "AMD." Would TF2 function on that system? It was launched in 2007 using an engine from 2004.

This won't occur if they're not familiar with computers. TF2 would face challenges on many of those Chromebooks.

Yes, when power levels drop, speed isn't the goal. The aim is simplicity and affordability.
