I don't know the end point but in our MDM at least for Android you can enable/disable ADB via a feature control profile:

So, there must be a setting available to allow/disable it.

But I'm pretty sure it's this one (as said for Android): https://developers.google.com/android/management/reference/rest/v1/enterprises.policies?hl=en#DeveloperSettings

 

So, not sure about Chrome or even Chrome OS or Chrome admin console but i found this one:

    there is no "USB Debugging" feature on  the Chrome OS administration interface. For your second link, it is about disabling developer mode on Chrome OS which means it is not related to the issue. (Linux developer mode is enabled for using the Crostini virtual machine, which is a prerequisit to install Android Studio on Chrome OS.)
