Let me try to take a stab at this:

If you have video chat with 10 people, then you have peer connections with 10 people. Each person will have connections with 10 other people, resulting in 10x10=100 connections.

With a streaming server, you would just need 1 connection to a server that would give you 10 media streams.

With a streaming server, you can also do recording and stuff.

I see. I didn't realize the Twilio backend did more than a simple p2p webrtc system.
