Unfortunately, I didn't really know I wanted one for myself and also for family until right now, especially at the $15 price point.

It seems like these are selling out in a lot of stores, but I wonder if it's smart to buy one when they'll probably no longer receive updates.

It's not that it won't receive updates. It's that when Google turns off some support servers somewhere, they will all stop working.

Chromecast Audio is the same as Chromecast built-in. There are tons of devices, this ecosystem is not gonna die anytime soon. Doesn't matter if Google ships their own hardware or not.
