So you think that they would be able to pay every developer that puts content on Steam enough for them to stay afloat? Lol

Nobody would care but the 6 neckbeards dwelling in their mother's basements.

You just need to accept reality and understand that Stadia is all you need.

It kinda does. If they were able to make a massive profit from this venture, it would be in place by now.

Literally how? They payout 70%~ of revenue to devs and publishers as is. How could they sustain paying every dev that much solely based off of $15 subs? They wouldnt even be able to survive half a year with that business model.

You aren't considering rudimentary math my dude. They make more money on one $60 game sale than they would on a sub. Lots of people buying games, lots of people buying more than one game a month with varying prices. They'd not only be leaving money on the table they would literally be hemorrhaging money and would not be able to sustain a business.
