Totally different things. Yes, that time could have been spent in other ways, sure. But that's always true. And, as other commenters have pointed out, Twitch seems to be this guy's job.
He'd actually have a much harder time putting actual guitar to use as a career. Walsh can whine about video games being a waste of time, but I don't see learning guitar being more productive, in the business sense.
And, I think most importantly, it is just different. For all we know, this streamer has zero interest in actual guitar...or can also already play it. Rhythm games and actual instruments are not the same, though. Getting good at Guitar Hero actually has more cross-use skills for someone who makes their living in front of a camera.
I'll give him (Walsh) half points at most.
