It will probably outlast Stadia’s duration
I hope this doesn't end up abusing family sharing (it's been just a few months since it became actually useful) to the point Valve nerfs it back to what it was.
I haven't really been keeping track of it for a few years, what's changed that made it better recently?

TL;DR: Simultaneous library sharing. Before, only one user could use a library at a time. Now, up to 6 users can simultaneously play any game from the same library.
This is what Netris is touting users to exploit when they say:
Steam Library Sharing
Grant access to your Steam library, so everyone on your team can join in on the fun without additional purchases.
A "Team", lol wut?
Neat, now my family can play non-split screen games
Oh, this is going to be fun! Google, AWS, or some other cloud provider will turn this into a hosted service, create a bunch of tickets for the opensource project and never contribute everything back, piss off Valve in the process, and somebody will get hurt.
