Why Esports will always be less stable

A big reason that Esports will never be as financially stable as physical sports like Basketball, Futbal, Baseball, etc. is that the meta is always changing. Basketball really has only 3 or 4 main eras that can be classified as "metas". These "metas" are also easier to adapt to as it comes in slower and will last for decades. These meta changes, nerfs, and buffs in competitive games leads to situations like yay or the old Sen roster (Shaz refusing to implement chamber into the roster until the chamber meta was already coming to an end) being extremely dominant and then just completely falling off. A game like Valorant will always be worse with this issue because of the abilities nerfs and buffs unlike cs which realy only has weapon buffs and nerfs. I think this is a big reason as to why OWL also fell off (other than that terrible YouTube exclusive deal). Thoughts? Am I onto nothing?

marketability has nothing to do with the game and everything to do with what platforms they are on

E-sports will make more money once they get broadcasting deals which will skyrocket sponsorships and merchandise

What im saying is that IF riot sells streaming rights in 5-10 years and viewership gets to about a million average for franchise matches ( unrealistic atm, but not impossible ) then their revenue will boom

average nba game nets about 1.3 million average,
