If I have really good internet (I may get fiber soon), and if I had a choice between a native version of a game and a cloud one, wouldn't the cloud one be a more impressive experience? Isn't that the whole idea, to be able to pump out more graphically powerful experiences for people that have great internet speeds?

In some ways yes, because they can run the game with higher visual settings than your local hardware may be able to. On the other hand image quality will always be higher locally because there is no compression so it will be sharp. A game running at 1080p on stadia does not look like local 1080p, it's noticeably less sharp.

Though this doesn't apply if say... you have a switch that could only run the game at 540p, then it's possible a 720p stream would look just as good as sharp or better than running it natively at 540p.
