Game Pass works through streaming, unfortunately running natively is impossible due to UWP crap. But next to that there is also EA Play and Ubisoft+ as well as free games from Amazon, Epic, etc.
I definitely wouldn't count Game Pass streaming as an option to validate PC gaming; since that can run on old Android Phones too. Plus, many of the games are only going to support controller, and you need to upgrade to Ultimate to get access.
I admit I'd forgotten about EAP and U+; to my knowledge they're pretty unpopular because of their cost-benefit ratio.
I got EA Play for 20€ a year so the cost part wasn't really that much of a factor anymore.
