Something nobody else seems to have said here, is that Valve's work on Linux, Proton, streaming from one device to another (even phones), etc, puts them in an excellent position for cloud gaming, as pointed out by [1]. Namespaces support seems like an obvious next step here.

Valve is already in the best position for this, since they're the dominant market player and gamers already have their game libraries in Steam. Buying a game from Valve makes more sense than buying a game from Google Steam users get to keep a playable product even if the streaming product is a flop.
