I feel like it's hard enough to stream PS1-PS3 games without some crazy lag, depending on where you are and how things are. I can't imagine how choppy and insane it's gonna be to do a PS5 game, not to mention the bandwidth it would take has to be insane, right?

i am a bit of a luddite though, so I don't understand it very well. It just seems crazy to me

You got it! You are sending input to a remote system, it is inputting it on a console on their side and streaming the video to you. That is why ping time is so important, because that is the lag of your input to the remote console.
