A long proud history of removing products/services that are great.

What is the advantage of a Chromecast over one of the small Roku options?

And for us, the Chromecasts come up on the google home app, so it's easier for our household to be uniform and send stuff wherever we want in the house.

This feels more like a veiled product segmentation than it does discounting. Wouldn’t surprise me if Chromecast sales were starting to slump. So, you kill the Chromecast and launch a “superior” Google TV Streamer device that requires separate cabling. A year or so later, release a “Travel Google TV Streamer” in a smaller size/weight that won’t snap a USB connector or integrate a short/retractable cable.

I like chromecast with google TV but Rokus are a way better product as far as reliability, stability and speed.

This is why I never buy any Google or Microsoft branded product (other than an Xbox). They're notorious for discontinuing them.
