Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix’s support page

And require to login too

Make no mistake, this was intentional before the holidays so families visiting relatives can't just cast Netflix from their phone to watch something and will require someone to login and use it one of their authorized devices...or coerce them to upgrade if they already have too many authorized devices
