I don't know why it's a terrifying concept either.
Anyway, Chromecasts can be configured to allow guest access at the device level. Phones that are even on distinct networks can still guest-Chromecast via ultrasonic noises emitted by the Chromecast. It's pretty nifty. It's nice to have a bunch of people over and have a shared YouTube queue.
