Streaming does help with limited resources as you don't need a GPU for every person, just every person online. But it does become a balancing act of how do you distribute your GPUs and how many concurrent players do you support.

A streaming service would run into the same issue, though. In the end, they would need remote high-end GPUs to power the games which are not going to be available to them cheaply enough to justify.

Yeah, but it would allow them to bury the cost in a subscription renewal instead of up-front price.
