I think we will start to see a lot of bootable images to move away from providing ISO very soon, since USB is becoming the norm and a bunch of new PCs not even including CD/DVD drives.
Example:
Recent versions of memtest86 (they still have a ISO, but its "not supported")

FydeOS的功能特性可以说是目前ChromiumOS目前绝对的第一了，为数不多走在了世界前列的国内团队，个人非常期待后续发展。

or which img file you want to boot?
I want to add a grub menu like below to boot a Chrome OS .img created by the Brunch project to port Official Chrome OS to normal pc
The .img consists of a 27 partitions disk image which represent a real Chrome OS boot drive
https://github.com/sebanc/brunch
Code:
menuentry "ChromeOS (boot from disk image)" {
img_part=/dev/sdb1
img_path=/home/chromeos.img
search --no-floppy --set=root --file $img_path
loopback loop $img_path
linux (loop,gpt7)/kernel boot=local noresume noswap loglevel=7 disablevmx=off \
cros_secure cros_debug loop.max_part=16 img_part=$img_part img_path=$img_path
initrd (loop,gpt7)/initramfs.img
}
