They were never really in it. The problem with Stadia is the lack of compelling 1st party software. Instead of investing in games early on, they released a service and then invested in 1st party studios which means it will be at least 3-4 years before one of their games releases, which leaves Stadia to survive solely on 3rd party titles. Amazon did a slightly better job at this, but still is missing any kind of compelling software to get gamers invested in the ecosystem.

Saying "the problem with Stadia" when talking about it makes it sound like it only had one problem, which is being mighty generous.

Maybe not. But there's always one main problem to every situation. I would agree that since you are trying to brake into a entertainment market where the product is games, then just logic dictates that games are needed for that and they did not have them. Any other issue after that is secondary.
