To be fair, a lot of people thought the same as you, even when Stadia closed a lot of news articles mentioned this as being a reason. Google did a horrible job of selling the product, that was one of the main reasons why it failed. Gamepass does seem like a decent product, particularly if you are a big gamer, it's not for me as I don't like subscriptions and I don't play games enough, but it is a decent offering.
