The stupid thing with Stadia is that every game you bought came with UNLIMITED FREE 1080p streaming.
They certainly made a loss on this guy but it is far from "stupid" from a consumer perspective.
Youtube comes with "free 1080p" infinite streaming and it makes double digit billions a year.
You can't be interrupted with ads every few minutes when gaming.
You absolutely could though. They could just pause the game in a solo game or detect you are in between matches in a multiplayer game.
File serving is cheap vs rendering a game. A single core can serve many video streams but may be insufficient to run even one game.
