It's common with streams even on Crystal that it's just good players that join the parties. It even happens with the Square Enix community streams on Crystal. I remember them doing savage and it was only the community team making mistakes.
Popular streamer, and content creator in general, is exceptionally likely to be non-representative to the normal player experience. I know that's what you are saying but I just think it needs to be repeated lol. Streamers (popular / the ones that do it for a living) don't represent the average player's ability of anything.

Can still get valuable information from it all, and they're still indeed a player, but like if a streamer said "oh this content is fine you can easily get this done" the truth might be THEY can because they've X of the best players, who might have already done the content, ready at their beck and call even if they don't need that reward / progression anymore, for time durations and time frames entirely abnormal for the average player, meanwhile the regular person could be LFP (LFG) for days and days only to get together a group once that was clearly incapable of the content without many more months of work.

Totally different experience environments, and not really their fault, just like non-streamers don't have to entertain an audience while they play. It's just different.
