I don't know that timesaving was mentioned, but it still would save time in terms of jumping in and out of games on the browser.
I don't see how fragmentation alters the cost-benefit of only paying for the timeshare of compute resources actually played. Cost saving would be assumed to actually increase due to fragmentation in the space.
For example, if I want to play AAA games on my own hardware my options are (basically):
1). Gaming PC
2). Xbox Series
3). Playstation 5
With streaming the options I can think of (OTTOMH):
1). Google Stadia
2). Microsoft xCloud
3). PlayStation Now
4). Amazon Luna
5). GeForce Now
6). Smaller gaming-pc-in-the-cloud providers (e.g. Shadow)
7). Rent a remote machine and set up Steam/Origin/Epic
8). Whatever Apple gaming-in-the-cloud me-too comes along in the future
I'm not sure it's a market that's struggling for competition.
