I think that's not really true. Thin client handles input and output. Nowadays even websites can work offline on client device. There're plenty of mobile apps which work offline. I don't want to pay for mobile Internet, so my phone works in offline mode usually. I have offline books, offline maps, offline docs and so on. Modern phones are extremely powerful with very fast CPUs and large amounts of RAM. It would be a waste to use them as thin clients.

Stadia was popular and successful even if it didn't show a fat enough profit curve for Google. All this is great as far as it goes, but I do worry that it's gonna be an excuse, in 10 or 20 years, to start moving basically everything into the cloud, where it can be easily monitored.
