A decent bitrate 1080P, 60fps stream shouldn't need anymore than 6Mbps... And a low bit-rate 1080P, 60fps can be done even at 3Mbps.
You can also do low-quality 4k, 60fps at 12Mbps... But the ideal rate would be around 32Mbps, but a moderate 20Mbps bitrate would be passable.
Twitch streamers would know what I am talking about, intimately.

False. If the video decoder doesn't support a specific codec, then it falls onto the CPU to pick up the slack via software method, if the CPU is insufficient, then the video stream will be choppy.
If Google wishes to implement H.266 encoding (Which is 50% more efficient at compression than H.265/HEVC) then the bulk of devices on the market today will simply not be up to task.
