Right now the way File Stream is it is most certainly in the They can KEEP IT column. I don't drink anyone's Cool-aide and if I am going to pay for something it is going to be useful or they can keep it, In a competitive market you move FORWARD not backward. I agree with your Rockn on the G Suite panel in general is pretty well done, that is why I am so extremely disappointed that GOOGLE could screw up something so brain dead simple as they did by taking NEEDED functionality OUT OF software that already had it and put out something they call new and improved when really its lame and feature Less.

The company is now pushing to make it a unified client for all users by incorporating features from Backup and Drive, including the ability to upload media to Google Photos. Following an update (version 45.0) to Drive File Stream last week, Google renamed this service to 'Google Drive for desktop'.
Although there's just one Google Drive app on mobile, on the desktop there's 'Drive File Stream' for Workspace/G Suite customers and 'Backup and Sync' for regular users. Drive up the wall: Google wants to clear up confusion around its Drive file sync and storage service.
