Apple TV+ spent $20B on original content. If only people actually watched. (arstechnica.com)

You are conflating the Chromecast device with Chromecast the tech.

Chromecast the tech still exists. I wouldn't support it, but thats not the same as it being discontinued.

So the issue is that Apple TV is available but it doesn’t support Google’s Airplay equivalent?

No, the issue is that someone else requested Chromecast support and you claimed it was discontinued. Just the branded dongle is, and even then it was essentially resold with AndroidTV installed.

Got it, thanks. I couldn’t imagine this being a reason enough for someone not to subscribe to Apple TV. I don’t even know which services I subscribe to support Airplay to my TV but then again I know people swear by chromecasting things.
