We all know the reaction of the game, but people like me who want to play the game and don't have a console and a powerful computer are waiting for the game to come to cloud gaming platforms. Considering that the game must be purchased to play the game on cloud gaming platforms, releasing the game to cloud gaming platforms will have a positive impact on game sales.
I always wondered if that's even working properly.
On a normal PC/console you have the delay from your device to the server and back to you.
On cloud gaming you have a delay from your input device to the remote device to the server to the remote device back to you...
The cloud gaming platform I use, I play BF1, BF4 and BF5 with 24 mbps internet speed, although it is not very good in terms of image quality, it offers very fluent gameplay.

The same reason people aren't buying this game or have quit playing on PS, XB and PC won't change. The issues and reasons will still exist regardless if they have a few more sales in cloud gaming. IMO, it's a distraction they don't need right now as there are far more important things they need to focus on right now otherwise there will be no game left to save.
Sales will increase if or when EA / DICE takes the necessary steps to attract players back to the game / franchise.
Google probably doesn't want to pay for DICE to port it, and I'd be surprised if they could port it without a considerable amount of effort that would take away from any work done on the game now.
Cloud platforms don't make squat for money. Like, at all. Nothing sells on Stadia. The only reason many games make the jump is because the team gets paid by Google to bring the game over (usually not a ton, but enough to make some money). It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is with cloud right now : /
Remember when Google was making wild claims about Stadia having input lag prediction and "negative latency"?
I bet NASA would love to use that technology for remote controlling the Mars Rovers.
