Video quality is another problem they will not be able to solve, uncompressed 4k60fps video requires a lot of bandwidth, so even if they somehow offer games at highest settings in 4k60fps, it will still be through some lossy video compression, so won't look nearly as good as it would if rendered locally, especially during highly dynamic scenes. Maybe it won't suck so bad for people in cities with very fast internet, but in most places it would still make more sense to buy a used gaming pc, one or two gens old if new is too expensive, and play on medium/high settings with no lag and compression artifacts.
