I agree. Right now the focus is on new capabilities this can bring, but if it succeeds it provides an even more invasive way for companies to insert themselves between people and their property. I would argue that the reason stadia is being developed is to further the trend of moving users' files and computation away from their control. Now everything people do in games can be third-party trackable. The computing industry has figured out they can double dip by pushing people into work flows that just happen to trequire a subscription. Expanding this conquest to gaming is happening now because the rationalization is just becoming believable.
