I just have a mac so don't have the real hardware to run proper games. I've used Stadia for the last year+ and here are some nice aspects to cloud gaming you may have overlooked.
- No downloads. This means if I wanna play any game in my 'library', I just click a button. Not decide if I wanna wait X hours to download/install the game or figure out what to delete to free up space. This means when new updates come out I just get to play them, not time out the download, etc. For cloud-only games, this also frees them from having to limit the game to to user hard-drive space.
- No cheating. I mean I guess you could rig an AI that watches your screen and reacts to it but that's much, much harder than current cheats. For a while when cheating was a bit too rampant, some destiny users opted to play PvP on Stadia instead just for the fair games.
- Convenience. Being able to switch devices/screens mid session was quite nice. Same for launching games to do a bit of maintenance from my phone (i.e. check daily vendors on my lunch break)
