I only went to GfN because Stadia shut down; I think Stadia did it the best way that you probably could tbh.

No they didn't.

"You have to rebuy your games, that you can't play anywhere else" isn't just "not the best way". It's straight up horseshit with no possible way to be valid. It's also the biggest reason it tanked.

The only thing about stadia that was in any way redeemable was the fact that they didn't mess around and gave full refunds for any game purchase.
