Is this still the case? According to the support page looks like it is now supported as long as you use the APIs in the whitelist and use Chrome version 57 and above.

Starting with Chrome version 57, public sessions supports the remote installation of extensions and packaged apps. To run Chrome apps and extensions in a public session, the app or extension can only declare the following subset of permissions in its manifest. If an app or extension declares a permission not in the list below, such as "cookies", the app or extension won't be installed in a public session.

I Spoke to a Sr Deployment Mgr for Chrome OS @ Google, he told me:

Only whitelisted packaged apps are supported in public sessions. In order to be whitelisted Google must review your app for security.
