The people at Google that thought killing Chromecast and replacing it with a $100 device certainly do not have the consumer in mind. This is entirely a political play within the company.

They said they sold 100 million Chromecasts, but do 100 million houses really have (or need, or want) home automation? I seriously doubt it.
