IMHO, as a gamer too, Stadia sucks not because it's streaming (the other streaming services are great for when I'm not on my desktop) but because Google totally botched its execution. Terrible pricing compared to Steam and other resellers, no crossplay, no mods, tiny library. And I think their architecture required specific ports from developers, vs GeForce Now's one-checkbox integration.
Game streaming isn't for everyone, but there IS a market for it. In that market, though, Stadia is by far the worst offering. They should've had gamers lead its design and development, but they run it like it's some sort of business cloud offering... just totally missed the culture.
