The replacement model is the Chromecast with Google TV. I got one for Xmas last year and it is a surprisingly nifty device for what it costs (although whether it holds its own against other similar devices from the likes of Apple, Roku, Amazon and others is another debate).
But I agree with you. I wouldn't be jumping onto the Stadia ship at this point. Not interested at all.

Pretty much their entire Pixel line is littered with a plethora of half-baked products and sub-par hardware.

Why purposefully deliver a half-baked product in a market that's not really there and previous attempts have gone down in flames, with the result of of further advancing Google's reputation of starting and ending projects after putting no effort in them? Some tax-evading scheme?

It's a perfect example of 'just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should'.
It doesn't take much for someone in a meeting to say 'yeah, but what about crappy Internet connections?' and the whole thing should have been scrapped. In fact, as Brad has shown, even a good Internet connections can't cope.

To be honest MS have this right in not putting all their eggs in one basket and I've heard Phil Spencer say recently they want cloud to reach as many players as possible because it can, but the best place to play is still console... Which is why the Series S exists at such an attractive price point.
It's just a value add for them and almost an acknowledgement that whilst the tech will almost certainly improve over time it's still restricted by its inherent limitations.
