No they didn't. AirPlay streamed the screen from your idevice, huge difference.

To be fair, that's one of the things Chromecast supports (screen/desktop/tab casting of mobile, desktop, or browser content); of course, direct-to-player streaming of online content controlled by web/mobile app is the preferred mode for most things and it's what is meaningful for most media consumption.

Doesn't AirPlay do rerouting to?
