It's conceivable that in a few generations you won't be able to build a PC that can compete with the cloud. That is pretty much the way non-gaming cloud workloads operate today. You could never have a local copy of Google Maps or YouTube because the cloud computer is just way too powerful and always up to date, and it has essentially unlimited storage.
Your hardware is also useless unless developers make games for it. The Xbox already has a ton of exclusive games and a relationship with just about every major third party. Microsoft's business model also allows cloud streaming to exist as a free add-on to the red-hot Game Pass platform. It's basically the “Netflix for games” service that everyone has always wanted. Nvidia is just a Windows PC in the cloud, so the message to developers is simply “make PC games.
