The new HD version also doesn't support Dolby Vision HDR, but it does come with support for HDR10 and HDR10+. You'll have to check which HDR protocols your specific TV supports to see if that matters for you.
There are also some differences under the hood, but they're not things most users will notice. Thanks to using a different chipset, the 1080p model supports AV1 video decoding — due to hardware differences, the 4K model does not. AV1 is a video codec known to be especially efficient, so the newer 1080p Chromecast might use less bandwidth to stream video. In addition, the 1080p version has less RAM: 1.5GB, whereas the 4K model has 2GB. That sounds like a downgrade, but in our experience, it isn't especially noticeable in normal use.
Storage space, a sore spot for many users of the original 4K Chromecast with Google TV, is also unchanged in the 1080p version. Both come with just 8GB, which can be limiting if you use a lot of different streaming services. Neither model has expandable storage built in, but either one will accept a compatible USB-C hub, so you can add additional storage using a USB-C hub if you need it.

I think they made the HD version to get a bigger share of the market and cater to those who do not have 4K TVs that may feel they don't need all of that 4K stuff so didn't want to pay up for it ($50 at regular price).

I agree with the Chromecast HD being an odd product though. The only positive is that it supports the AV1 codec. Aside from that it's normally priced higher than Onn's 4K streaming box which makes it a non starter in the United States at least. Google really should have just refreshed the 4K SKU with an Amlogic s905x4 chip to add AV1 support and called it a day.
