Google has a bad track record there, but they wouldn't kill things that were working on their end. What % of the population do you think even knew was Stadia ever was?

Especially given how expensive generative AI can be to run remotely.

Great point, except it proves the opposite of what you meant by it.

Aside from the fact the phones dont even remotely have the resources to do anything like that without sucking their batteries dry and over heating in record time, do you seriously think given the insane workload, hardware dedication, network bandwidth, and that many more people on the payroll, that Google is (choosing) to just do that to be nice? If they could offload all that to the users they would in a second! Even if the mindset is that its about the data mining, they could simply do that after the fact and send themselves the end result, and save themselves hundreds of millions in equipment, power needs, physical buildings, cooling costs and the never ending hardware costs. Ever work in a data center? Ever see how much shit breaks every single day even when everything's going as planned? Its insane.
