Can you explain the reason for this request?

Note that even if Cast is disabled, users on the same WiFi network can use the
Android TV Remote Control application to control the device. I don't believe
the software remote can be disabled for users on the network.

We believe Android TV as a platform is likely to be used in semi pubic places
(think a dentist lobby). If the dentist is already allowing access to their
public wifi, anyone sitting in the lobby could take control of the TV. If there
was a way to restrict external devices from simply taking control (Via casting
or remote control app) that could be a very useful feature. Of course by
default this restriction would be off. A simple setting that allows or
restricts connections from casting, the remote control app or any other similar
features that are open by default would be welcome.

I would like to +1 this request. In my case I have a Sony TV with android tv
built in. I also have an Nvidia shield console connected to that tv. When
someone on my network uses the cast feature they are prompted to choose which
device. In my case I always want the shield used because the TV's output does
not go through my receiver and my receiver does not support ARC. I would like
to disable casting to the TV's OS so that it does not show up as an option. I
realize that while this is one of those "training issues" being able to disable
casting would be handy.
I am eager for the time when AndroidTV is running on smaller and more low end
displays bringing that level of functionality to rooms other than the master
viewing area but I think a lot of folks who are breaking out the various
components will like to keep their smart device outside of their display
device. It is way more practical for me to buy a new $200-$300 steaming box
every couple years than to buy a new TV when the maker stops updating the
firmware because the 5 year old SOC they put in the TV can't run the new stuff.
As the OP said, if there is a better place for this to be raised (base android
forum or some ATV forum) please let me know.
Thank you
