IMHO if you assume it'll be ephemeral but will still benefit then this is the service for you. I'm in the same place you are: I don't have the time, energy, interest or space to invest in a powerful gaming computer. Investing in a machine that'll take up space and power for the few times I can spend playing a game just doesn't make sense for me. At present I can either chose to go without or go with Stadia.
To be honest I think Nintendo has the low power, low end gaming market locked up with the Switch and people who love to game will have a mix of consoles and possibly PCs. Even so I think there's a swath of people in the middle who aren't interested in buying a console but want something more powerful than a Switch. I don't understand complaints about the cost of using Stadia since the Xbox and PS4 also require subscriptions to make the most of the devices.
What's interesting to me is if actual 5g (not marketing 5g) becomes a reality then it becomes easier to be untethered from an ISP. I doubt Google considers it much of a market but think of minimalists: van campers, small house types and people who simply want to reduce clutter.
