Recently bought a used Sony KD55X7055 and I'm having some issues with casting to it.

I just got a used Sony KD55 X7055 for a really good deal. it starts and runs fine, I know it's not a top of the line TV but to me it's amazing.

It does however run a very basic version of Android TV, apps are lacking, some are too old to work. I have already planned ahead and ordered a Realme 4K stick to handle all of my smart TV duties. But until it arrives I can only seem to cast from an external device such as my phone using YouTube exclusively. Google home isn't able to connect with it, and in apps such as Netflix or HBO Max no device is even showing as available.

This TV model runs on proprietary os which is Linux based not Android TV and there's no Chromecast Built-In. You can't install or sideload apps.

The 'cast' function that this model support is Discovery and Launch(DIAL) protocol .

You're going to have to accept that this is the problem with buying a TV with any type of Smart OS built in and just run a box instead from now on.
