For a long time, this was sold as a plus for gaming consoles, but afaik even there a bunch of cheating tools are available now. So right now game streaming is being sold as the next savior of online gaming since everything runs in the cloud.
But being the pessimist I usually am, and reading about how the cheating business is apparently a multi million dollar market, I expect this to also not hold up forever. There's already AIs that can play doom and starcraft just by scraping the screen, so if people are willing to pay for cheating tools, they'd probably also be willing to attach stuff to their Google Stadia that captures the screen and simulates input.

And it will be again when the next generation comes out this year. This happens every console generation, in the last year cheating tools finally catch up.
