We're not talking about pornographic streams, though.
your original words.
You can pretend like they're not pornographic but its pretty undeniable these streams are sexual in nature intended to funnel people to their platforms where they can be explicitly sexual instead of skirting the rules by doing "hot tub streams" etc... I wish people wouldn't be facetious about it.
There are plenty of porn stars who stream non-porn content on Twitch. Porn stars are allowed to have more than one interest, y'know. And for the more risque/lewd content like hot tub streams, Twitch literally has a separate category on their platform specifically designed so that the more "adult" content isn't in the main feeds to begin with.
I'm not talking about porn stars who happen to stream video games. I'm talking about the explicitly sexual streams where they do suggestive things for donations. It's basically cam site lite with a direct funnel to their adult content. It's still extremely prevalent in just chatting.
