But even taking those %s at face value: it's 40% of a much larger amount of money (a whole CD versus some streams).

When considering revenue of 1999 as 100% CD sale and 2021 as 100% streaming we got something like (in inflation adjusted $bn).
(1999) 40% of 23.7 = 9.48
(2021) 70% of 14.9 = 10.43
So while gaming got much more popular during that time, music still brings a lot of revenue to the artists thanks to the streaming.
