    It’s because they want to lock you into Chromecast compatible apps.

      The same reason they removed the SD card, to get you using Google Drive, and the headphone jack, to get you to buy pixel buds.

      I wish there were other options but most smartphone makers have dropped out of the game, cost a fortune, or have terrible updates.

        Yeah, I’m at a loss for my next phone. Maybe OnePlus if they stay decent.
