The only advantage 9900K/KS have for gaming is that their default boost is very high (KS is 5GHz). Overclock an AMD 3900X or 3800X, and that advantage is moot at best and nonexistent at worst. Also, don't forget that these "streamers" are basically blank canvas advertisement machines, "putting out" to whoever pays top money, be it Intel, which is very active in that scene, the various motherboard companies which want to advertise their Intel-geared products and cooling solutions, which sometimes are geared toward Intel CPUs. The last two are changing slowly. In the last year, the amount of B450/X570 chipset motherboards flooding the market was staggering. It was very clear where the wind is blowing in the gaming segments. Intel is still a very high-paying force, but you will start seeing "streamers" also take the AMD route over time.
