Nvidia Shield would work for that with the Geforce Now service. Pros: don't have to pay unless stuck in queue and want priority or higher quality. Cons: have to own your games elsewhere for Geforce Now to be able to stream it (for license reasons), and it's about the same price as an Apple TV.
Game Pass Cloud does work on some smart TVs, mostly the latest ones from Samsung so if you got one of those then you don't even need a box. Amazon Luna is the same. Samsung TV.

You can easily do this with a Google TV (like $40?) plus an Xbox controller. Or just hook up any old Android phone or PC laptop.
Since all the actual gaming hardware is in the cloud, all you need is a device that can output the frame rate and resolution (and maybe HDR) you want, which should be easy enough to find.
Stadia seemed perfect for a casual gamer like me, but it had so few games at launch and I knew better than to buy into a Google consumer product. I have a MacBook, but using it to game on my TV would be a wonky setup.
