Actually no, it did not work that way. Data Centers have no always had GPUs. A small scientific research server farm may have for research though that is not a Data Center and is not meant for public use and they would have had no GPU cycles to sell due to their research needs.

Data Centers started having GPUs for web gaming and then LLMs. Most Data Centers did not support this feature. So selling off unused GPU time is not a likely scenario.

Streaming does not require a GPU. Video editing can be enhanced by it and so can gaming. Though the streaming of a game being played is not something you would use a GPU for. GPU are for intensive math function beyond what CPUs are designed to handle. There is nothing in streaming video that really demands this resource. You can test this by using VLC to stream a video to another computer on your network and see that the serving computer does not start using a lot of GPU resources when the streaming begins.
