That's more a business problem than a technical problem. Web games are in a local maximum of minimal production cost (via 2D assets) versus maximized profits (via free-2-play), and as long as this works well there won't be an Infinity Blade because it's too expensive to produce.

Yeah, but then what do we want this technology for, besides visualisations and shadertoy demos?

Streaming solves the business case, with native APIs using server side rendering.
