what I dont get about psnow is why I would stream a laggier version of a game I could download and play locally without worrying about internet issues


For PS4 owners, PS3 games can't be downloaded because of the different architecture between CELL and X86.  Streaming the games can overcome this issue; (in other words, backward compatibility)

For people who don't own a console period, streaming is the ONLY way to be able to play games on an otherwise non-gaming platform or where these games weren't licensed (PC gamers being able to play SONY exclusives through PSNow)
