It is the ad-supported accounts that don't work with Chromecast.
Previously I had the regular account, before they started with ads. I used it with Chromecast but really didn't care for using the app on my phone vs a normal tv remote. I had dropped that plan awhile ago. I just got a "free" year of the ad-supported version with my internet upgrade (at which time I also dumped regular cable). I've been watching stuff on Prime and just now got around to buying something to make Netflix work. I figured with Roku I get a bunch of other streaming stuff that no lo longer works on my old, senile TV. (like YouTube and Pandora and Plex, allegedly). So once my NF "free" period is up, I probably won't want to renew, because there is so much content out there, and I am easily amused. 
(I keep putting "free" in quotes because how is it free if I can only use it by buying something else?)
