When you have more and more tools to clear it day one before guide and you will not need to figure it out blind, people will not go to watch them, but just go and clear. And don't forget no matter if you like or not specific streamer, this is business model. Streamers don't put "good job" comments as food on the table. Videos with high view count may help better with the food.
Now that is just straight up false. We have guides down to content like dungeons and those do get views. Streamers dont need to be the best at the game, they need to make watching them entertaining in some way. It's a community experience and the more people get into the harder content, the more are potentially interested in watching a streamer do the content they also want to do. Do you think when people have cleared a specific fight they will never watch any streamer who tries to clear that content? As a streamer you do not even need to be good at all at the game, you just need to make it entertaining for the audience.

According to your logic the popularity of guide content should be on a massive downward spiral which is not the case.
