FWIW Hearthstone calibre games are already playable on any moderately recent smartphone. Not much gain from Stadia in that regard.

To add to that: I've played Hearthstone itself on a Oneplus One (phone from 2014).

The word "calibre" is doing a lot of work in your sentence.

There are all sorts of seemingly low-resource-intensive, low-latency, even old games of that "calibre" that stutter on my Macbook Pro.

That's more of an indictment of how bad Apple computers are at handling games.

Apple computers with discrete GPUs (like the aforementioned MacBook Pro) are great at running DirectX-based games natively under Windows via Boot Camp.

They're also great at running Metal-based (e.g. Apple Arcade) games natively under macOS.
