What? No, games arent just "streaming", the time between you seeing stuff and and the server processing your inputs reacting to this new state of the game should be short, you can easily do this with a 500mbps connection with low latency but will not work with a 10gbps with 200 ping.
Additionally, if you have a spotty 10gbs connection, you'll still have a bad experience. The maximum capabilities of something doesn't define how it can be used in the real world. I'm not denying some people can use it just fine, but it's not mainstream for a reason.
