One may wonder why it is so closed ?
In fact, Google may not have had the choice because of DRM.
I can see Netflix, Hulu and friends requiring from Google that the content cannot be pirated, eg saved to disk.
For that, it must not be possible to make non-approved (licensed) Googlecast receivers.
And since for now, no third party Sender app (except the few release app) has been release,
we do not now what kind of app Google will approve.
Making an app from non approved sources / content ? Maybe they will deny the ability to publish such app...
So wait'n'see...
