Is anyone actually not switching because of the load times?

I thought it was because they have fever games to offer
and no workshop
and no proper friendlist + chat + voice
and no community tabs to share text, pictures and videos
and no community forum inside the launcher
and no way to personalize a profile
and no community driven groups
and no streaming
and no recording-tool

ok, i'll stop already...

Steam's in-built streaming has never been quite as good as the various Sunshine/Moonlight versions/forks/reimplementations (or GeForce Experience before them), but it's been a viable option for a long time. And they've recently made several notable improvements (probably to support a better experience on the Steam Frame and Steam Machine as client devices), including introducing (in beta) the Pyrowave codec that many of the Sunshine forks are now implementing themselves.

If Steam integrates a proper on-demand, first-party virtual display option, it would become a very attractive alternative to the Sunshine forks for many people, because of the integration into its own UI (though many of the forks and reimplementations have their own unique benefits).
