Yet another case of having never spoken to the actual customer

Haven't used Stadia but have played on GFN multiple games without issues. Cloud gaming actually works.
I am a customer. I played several AAA games all the way through on Stadia and it was a great experience. It was not like OnLive back in the day. If Stadia gets shut down then I'll have to switch to GeForce Now which is way more clunky.
Cloud gaming as a concept is long proven. Pc gamers bothered by a 10ms button delays are not a huge target market.
