I imagine that's a big part of the drive behind discontinuing Chromecast support..

I doubt that. Netflix has an app on TVs as old as 8-10 years now. SoCs in such TVs aren't enough to decode AV1. They're stuck with H.264 for a long time.

Nah, that's more "we can't get ad injection working on the old Chromecast client" because it still works on early Chromecasts for ad-free plans.
