Really grateful for the major contribution Google made to the WebRTC over the years, driven by the Stadia effort. They relatively quickly turned it into a viable, production worthy, real-time protocol. Brought up the state of the art in browser-based streaming and reduced complexity in a big way. There were things you simply couldn't do in the browser before WebRTC (e.g. UDP streaming) and many other things were significantly more complex and browser-specific (e.g. tapping into hardware decoders). They were also very receptive to external contributions, which is really nice to see in a major corporate-driven open source project.

While Stadia did cause them to do more work on WebRTC (AFAIK mostly with latency), their WebRTC efforts--and you are referencing high-level stuff, not low-level Stadia-specific details--was mostly driven by Google Hangouts, not Stadia.
