Not my experience at all.

Was able to do latency-sensitive gaming like VR gaming from a Shadow PC 200 miles away. Have happily streamed PC games to my phone whilst out and about on 4G networks. I suppose if you're comparing it to 4K ultra quality local gaming you might find it much worse, but for someone who only has a MacBook Pro I found it performed significantly better to stream the game from a PC elsewhere than to try to run Mac native versions of games – and also just let me open up high quality games very quickly from many devices without having to mess around with cables and device drivers and all that stuff.

My partner streams the Xbox games to her Surface laptop which is definitely not powerful enough to play them natively.

That said I know it's still fairly niche, but I think it has a shot of tapping into a much broader casual market than e.g. PC gaming and consoles which require people to already care enough to do a big upfront investment.
