I had an AirPort Express back in 2004 timeframe that was precursor to Airplay that did beat Chromecast by close to 10 years with AirTunes. AirPlay came out in 2010. Then, in 2017, Apple released AirPlay 2.

Chromecast first gen was in 2013.

Apple actually beat Google on this one in terms of time.

How is a wireless audio technology comparable to chromecast? If it is, bluetooth audio streaming started in 1998, beating airport express by 6 years. And don't get me started on radio...
By your logic, AirPlay and Chromecast are just smaller versions of broadcast television.

Come on man
