Because it's just so convenient to have to plug your laptop in via an HDMI cable and have it permanently tethered to your TV, and I just love sitting on the couch attempting to move a basically nonresponsive laser mouse on the furniture surface.

Cost of chromecast+remote: $30

Cost of secondhand laptop + wireless keyboard/mouse: $250

No ads, better interface, stream sites, no remote, and “everyone” has an old laptop.

To me it’s an obvious choice.
