If I remember correctly, this feature is based on Miracast which means that it also works for most WiFi-enabled TVs.

Very useful for presentations, if the Intel drivers and TV manufacturer code have mercy on you that day and work without crashing, artefacts or random disconnects.

Also this requires support from the WiFi chipset. Most laptops likely have support, but not all desktop WiFi dongles.

I understand it’s not the usecase, but would be cool if this also worked over ethernet.

Sounds marginally better than the third party implementations of AirPlay that I’ve used.
