I am a little surprised, I assumed Gamestream was mostly local. I imagined it was similar to Plex/Jellyfin where the computer is doing all of the transcoding.

I know that the Nvidia Shield TV Pro is a flagship product and highly recommended in home media server circles. It's not hard to imagine Nvidia shifting their focus to that product and sunsetting a feature that doesn't overlap a lot with that crowd.
Nvidia Shield TV Pro is one of the only devices I know of that can play back Dolby Vision files properly, at least via Plex/Kodi. The specific DV profiles supported is a work in progress but the most common webrips are detected properly and enable Dolby Vision mode on the TV. BD Rips aren't completely supported by any device other than disk players, but non DV fallback usually works fine. Chinese TV boxes have unofficial DV support but certain surround codec support can be spotty and support could mean simply discarding the metadata. Kodi added support recently on android builds but DV needs hardware level support as well for true playback.
