There is a big difference of running a PC on the cloud that runs your game vs what Stadia does, that's why Stadia is so much better than the competition, the game is compiled for that purpose.
The other thing that no one is talking about is that it removed 99% of the cheats because the game is not running locally and you just use a "dumb" terminal.

I have a feeling these streaming services will capture a huge portion of the 'casual' market, and there will be some hardcore people who refuse it or consider it a toy. Kinda like cell phones and mobile gaming. Very popular, not going away, but didn't kill off PCs and probably can't.

"Gamers" won't like it, but AAA publishers always get what they want if it impacts profits - this is the future and there's no way around it. I wouldn't be surprised seeing the first "cloud-exclusive" release opping up soon that you can play on Stadia or equivalent only for half a year or so. Valve is working on something like this as well afaik.
