Cloudflare Stream isn’t just for live-streaming, it’s for generic video hosting too. It does transcoding, adaptive bitrate, HLS, etc. It’s terrible and you shouldn’t use it, but it does a lot more than just serve static video files like R2.

Just to add, you should never serve video straight from R2 unless you pre-render all your videos for all major devices. Otherwise you get very, very subpar device buffering performance. Generally use R2 as a cache layer over your stream processor (CF Stream).
