I am definitely not the only one to think so, because when I was going to buy it, I saw a few reviews and at least one video that said similar or were undecided. It was cheaper too, when I bought it, by over €10. I really like the Chromecast, and it is an amazing device, but the mecool is a better option for me. There are a few reasons I have made the Mecool the main device and relegated the Chromecast with Google TV to the sideroom. Pihole, and the likes of adguard or blokada might block the chromecast adverts, but not an issue with the mecool. I prefer the OS/Interface, it is cleaner, and can be made look even cleaner by removing rows etc. Just something I thought worth mentioning.

Stadia works on the mecool too, I know it is only temporary that it's not on the chromecast, but again, I don't use it anyway, so not a feature for me that swayed my opinion. I am not a big gamer - I like my old arcade games, and Retroarch works without issue afaik, but I use a pi for that anyway. But with the Mecool I can add USB storage and play 4K from that or microSD card, I can connect using ethernet.
