Unless you can live very close to one of the data centers doing the computing to minimize the number of hops, that just isn't even remotely doable with modern networking equipment
Google tried it with stadia and gifs like this show why it doesn't work for most people
There are people on the internet with about 2-3 ms of ping. I'm not a network engineer to tell you how that's even possible, but I've seen it. I'm on 15ms to most game servers right now on a copper line.
Google Stadia failed for different reasons. Nvidia Go (or whatever it's called) still exists. Just because I have a shitty copper line doesn't mean fibre will be as shitty.
