That's a totally reasonable point of view! OBS is a great recommendation at the entry level and while the work it takes to build a show around it does scale upward pretty quickly, it's eminently doable. GDQ is a good example of running a complex, high-production streamed show through OBS. They operate a pretty heavy software stack and they get away with a lot by pushing it into HTML5. That's not my preferred way to go about it, but you can absolutely go that route.

Why I responded at all was the maximalist dismissal of a pretty large industry of smart people doing interesting things in the video mixing space.
