It's ridiculous that Google has disabled this feature. Even if we assumr it's in preparation for desktop mode, that's still unacceptable. Mirroring is a perfectly valid feature in its own right and it shouldn't be held back by Google's "plans".
It's crazy that my old Android phones from a decade ago could do this and the latest pixel cannot. We have been bleeding hardware features for years.
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.
