Couple of things: - Video compression makes a lot of difference. You don't send over all pixels every time for every frame. - 3D video games communicate lot more than a few commands. The object need to moved are described by a lot of numbers. - One way vs two communication.
Netflix works by communicating 1920x1080 different colored pixels 60 times per second. Video games work by communicating a series of simple commands which tell your computer where to move pre-downloaded images. The former puts a much greater load on the internet.https://twitter.com/DaveVescio/status/1241129648014024704 …

Overall you're probably right but the difference is not that big per person, it's just way more people stream.
