I'd consider how much software adoption there is for Google Cast (nee Chromecast). A good number of web pages have dedicated cast support (better than browser's built in support), for ex Spotify. Most podcast & audio apps on Android have Cast support (pocketcast, spotify, &c).

While there may be more appliances out there, & some popular ones, they are kind off all off on their own with some random native apps cobbled together out of whatever random sdk the hardware has. The apps almost never coordinate very well with your phone.

Cast is absolutely dominating. Playing a far better game than everyone else. Easy for developers to work with (so easy with the web platform support being built in). Software adoption within a web page makes all the sense & is so easy & flexible. We haven't even seen multi-phone "multiplayer" cast apps get popular but it's easy to do. No one else can compete.

Please let OpenScreenProtocol start getting some traction so we can continue advancing these capabilities & start freely building systems that can work together.
