Google: Enable Miracast on Nexus instead of forcing people to buy a Chromecast

The Issue

Android 6.x MarshMallow, Google has intentionally disabled on Nexus 5x and Nexus 6p the support of Miracast to force people to buy a Chromecast.

Many users just want to mirror their phone or tablet to Miracast-enabled TVs without the need to buy one more piece of hardware.

Google needs to stop playing the Apple game and should re-enable Miracast on all the Nexus devices especially 5x and 6p.
