I wish there was a plug-and-play cloud gaming box I could just plug into my TV. I’m willing to pay a monthly subscription but not hundreds of dollars to buy into a console ecosystem.
Stadia seemed perfect for a casual gamer like me, but it had so few games at launch and I knew better than to buy into a Google consumer product. I have a MacBook, but using it to game on my TV would be a wonky setup.

Cons: have to own your games elsewhere for Geforce Now to be able to stream it (for license reasons), and it's about the same price as an Apple TV. Game Pass Cloud does work on some smart TVs, mostly the latest ones from Samsung so if you got one of those then you don't even need a box. Amazon Luna is the same. Samsung TV.

Since all the actual gaming hardware is in the cloud, all you need is a device that can output the frame rate and resolution (and maybe HDR) you want, which should be easy enough to find.
