Thing is sending content via upnp isn't the same as casting. For one, some apps don't support sending over upnp. Example, songza. Now there is a way to have all audio captured and sent via upnp from any app but it just doesn't work correctly. Also it's kind of a hack and requires root access. Casting songza to a CC works flawlessly. Another difference is the easy in which to send content. Casting is built into apps that support it, just hit the cast button. Sending via upnp is a lot longer and less intuitive process.
At the end of the day all I would like is the same functionally ios users get with airplay. Android should play just as well with xbmc and it does surprise me a little that ios seems to get a little better support. (the ios remote is another example)
