Last year I ditched Android and unplugged my Chromecasts. Google's no longer not-being-evil, and I want nothing more to do with them.

Mostly I use my PS4/smart TV. I have no doubt that data is also collected, but somehow it makes me feel slightly better.

There is Apple's AirPlay, but you need Apple tv to use it.
