ubuntu-system-settings handles the lack of aethercast the same way widi supported property not being set, it disables the controls. Once the backend needed by the external displays panel, this will be following the same pattern as configured external displays that aren't currently connected.

It seems like there are 2 fixes needed: a) Seed aethercast in relevant phone images b) fix system-settings to hide the external display section when aethercast is not around. Currently the button is there but just does nothing.
