If latency wasn't an issue, I could see it as a luxury/convenience thing. Pay for the top tier experience, don't have to manage your own hardware, including the weirdness and annoyances you get into sometimes with PC gaming.

But latency is an issue, so the experience will always be inferior in terms of responsiveness. Which, to a lot of gamers, means it would have to be a budget option, not a luxury one.

I think the latency part depends a lot on the games. I have used stadia and geforce now and for single player games I cant feel any latency difference.

I have tried playing multiplayer games like CS:GO on geforce now, and that gave me latency issues and was not a great experience.

My experience on Stadia was that when playing controller the latency is barely noticeable, but keyboard and mouse was really uncomfortable to me.
