Mirroring from another device is not the same as streaming from a TV connected device. It requires active participation from the mirroring device.

Streaming from a TV connected device with arbitrary content restrictions is silly.

Freedom and whatnot.

The freedom to leave the house and to preserve your battery life is another issue. I often fling videos to my chrome cast for my kids remotely. AirPlay style mirroring is wasteful of bandwidth, battery, it double compresses streams, and adds latency.

It's a fallback of last resort IMHO.
