What I say reflects my own personal opinion, but you already saw that when you looked at my profile and googled my username to dox me.

Again, Amazon has the power to add Chromecast support to the Fire OS. They chose not to, just as they chose to remove chromecast support from Twitch when they acquired it.

The developer docs you linked do not state a way to do initial configuration/setup on a Chromecast. How do you do it? How would Amazon implement it so that someone could buy a Google Chromecast and install and use it without a Google-approved device to set it up? How do you connect a Chromecast to your Wi-Fi network from a Kindle Fire?
