1440p 144fps is ridiculous.
Tough enough getting a 720p low latency feed, which is what stadia does. It then upscales to 1080p and 4k

Do you have source for this? This sounds incorrect. My impression is that the Stadia Pro is capable of sending 4K, assuming the game developer can optimize their game to run at a good framerate with 4K.

It might be ridiculous but it's what I want if I'm going to use cloud gaming software. I'm probably not the target demographic.
I have nothing against personal tastes, but I would prefer if the gaming community gave more appreciation to low-poly, artsy, cartoony, and/or stylized graphics that would donwscale better rather than (IMHO overused) hyper-realistic highdef textures and sophisticated lighting effects (that often end up making panorama views "foggy"). I have nothing to say about FPS, more is always better :)
It is also worth mentioning that ray-tracing will offer new depths for highdef textures and sophisticated lighting effects so I don't expect this trend to change soon.

Moonlight will do this except for 144hz, trick is to 'stream' your entire desktop[1], allowing you to access any game/launcher regardless if nvidia detects a game or not.

At least as far as Steam goes, I've had reasonable success using Steam Link over Wireguard (since it's designed to be used locally); though I don't play games where lag is critical (like FPS's).
You could try wrangling 1440p144 from your hardware, not sure how high quality it can get

144 fps is one frame every 7ms. Are there even any residential internet offers where you can get a ping that low to anything on the internet?

I'm on a cheap fiber plan in a European capital and consistently get a ping under 3ms to Google/Stadia. It's nothing uncommon.
I want is a service that:
* Lets me play my existing library of games (what I own on Steam, Origin, Battle.net)
* Has League of Legends
* Streams in 1440p 144fps
I haven't found anything that does this.
