I don't get why people want to stream to shitty devices. Why not just buy a gaming console or PC that can actually play the damn game without depending on internet connection.

You can blame Cell phones.  The reason I say this is that the market has exploded and it bring games to billion of users.  Now take a look at what these streaming services is trying to do is bring you console type of games on the go for your mobile device.  I tried Xcloud and it made me purchase one of those clips you can snap on your controller with your cell phone.  You cannot take your Xbox or PS system everywhere you want to go and also just pull it out and play whenever you want.  The closes you get is the Nintendo Switch.  The ability to play Gears, Halo, The last of US, GOD of War you name it on the go anywhere you want and then when you get home start those games on your PC or console right where you left off.  Now you are on your lunch break, in a long line, at the airport, in a hotel you name it, having all your games with you all the time no matter what device you choice to use.  Hell, even your Cell phone can cast to a TV so if you are travelling you can play on your TV without taking your huge console with you.  That will be the new console gaming landscape and whoever gets it right with the best features, content and service will be very successful.
