Google TV Streamer is great, but a true Chromecast successor is still needed

Summary

The author reflects on their long-term use of Google's Chromecast with Google TV and the newer Google TV Streamer, expressing a strong desire for a proper, smaller Chromecast follow-up. While praising the TV Streamer's performance, they note that six years have passed since the 4K Chromecast launched and four years since the HD model, and that the aging hardware is starting to show its limitations despite still performing admirably.

By far and away my most used Google product of the past decade is the Chromecast with Google TV, closely followed by the TV Streamer, but I'd love a proper, smaller version.
It's crazy that six years have passed since the 4K version of the Chromecast with Google TV, and four years since the limited HD model quietly dropped.
The problems are starting to manifest more readily now, despite the performance of both streamers actually doing way better than anyone could have expected.

I love the Google TV Streamer, it's great, but a I'd absolutely adore a true-blue Chromecast follow-up even more.
