The new device casts.

Yes, but I think OP means, if they make old Chromecast unusable.

What does a Chromecast do these days, I don't own one, but a lot of new tvs have casting features built in now. Sounds like they might just be a product that isn't needed anymore. I've seen several TVs at work that even Windows can just connect wirelessly as another screen without any special apps or devices added. Sounds kind of like saying "sony stopped making VCRs" if the product has been outgrown

Chromecast, at least the one I own, does one thing and does it well. It plays whatever I tell it to play through my phone. I turn on my dumb TV, cast, done.

I will NEVER buy a smart TV. Ever. My experience with them has been subpar compared to a Chromecast.
