I think the real issue remains latency. Gaming companies are using it but the users don’t want it. Try playing call of duty or doom over the network and it’s going to be a terrible experience.

Stadia disagrees (Doom is actually on there).
You can say what you want about the business model or Google itself, but the UX is impeccable.
I am periodically in disbelief when I think that what I’m playing on the screen is being streamed by a server.

Doom is on there, but I wouldn't say the experience is great. I've played it both locally and on Stadia and while a quality-inelastic buyer might be OK with it there it just doesn't match up for a serious/invested consumer. And that's totally fine; not all things have to be for all people. But it's a worse experience once you know what you're looking for, and will stay so.
And, as a TO for fighting games, there's no substitute there for the barest minimum latency possible (to the point where older games legitimately feel better because you can play them over analog connections to a CRT).

That looks like Borderlands 3... I've beaten the game and never had such a problem.
I'll grant: it's impeccable under the right network conditions.
