It seems that when using the prod Messages endpoint, the timing works out such that the "Remember this computer" does not always default to true as expected. It does work often, but it's pretty easy to reproduce a failure.
We may need to rethink a bit of how we default this bit to true... It may warrant just setting a cookie in the messages domain to indicate the state of better together on the chromebook:
Basically, we should follow the logic of when the app is installed by AndroidSmsAppInstallingStatusObserver, but also set the cookie to false when the feature is disabled for one reason or another. I can try to start looking at this a bit tomorrow.
