That's not entirely true - the _DSD stuff was also actively being used by the embedded x86 people since they needed firmware bindings for things and wanted to import all the work that's been done for DT, or as much as possible anyway given that there's bits of ACPI that actively conflict with DT. They were driving this much more actively and doing much more extensive work than the ChromeOS people. That all seems to have been abandoned though.
