Google Cast is just as proprietary as AirPlay. Both require licensing to be included in devices. I have an LG TV that supports both, an ancient Roku device that does the same, as well as supporting Miracast. You're confusing Chromecast and the Google Cast protocol with Miracast, which is an open standard; one dropped by Google in favour of their proprietary stack.

It's branded as "Chromecast built-in" when supported by a TV, not "Google Cast".
e.g. https://www.sony.com/image/89821bf64399cd4c34680e0988903e4b?...
Is that a recent rebranding? The SDK is still called Google Cast.
So, literally any messaging app, something that non-Apple users have to do anyways, and have to deal with your bullshit about only going through iMessage when they have to send you SMS.

Chromecast is infinitely more ubiquitous. Also, if Apple didn't patent AirPlay and refuse to share it with anyone, you wouldn't be in this situation.
I will absolutely agree with Google being an absolutely dreadful steward of Android, but make no mistake: you gave Apple full support in locking themselves down in their own little playground, and now you're complaining you can't get out.
