I would beg to differ. A lot of game developers watch gaming streams. There's a reason why cohhcarnage was asked to voice in cyberpunk and baldur's gate 3, and why blizzard personnels will respond to asmongold directly
These two things, game devs watching streamers and game companies engaging with streamers are largely orthogonal. The latter is to appeal to the streamers general audience as they are influential. It is however excellent that these two have game developers backs.
From the perspective of understanding and reacting to this the OP is correct that streamers aren’t really driving this.
