I'm a bit more than a casual gamer, having built my last two PCs, and I do completely understand your point of view.
That being said, but my friend who has just about as much interest in gaming, and only owns an Xbox 360 and a netbook, was able to try the free demos in OnLive. Within 5 minutes of mentioning it to him he was already playing a recent, current-gen game that looked fantastic on his (small for my taste) screen. Sure, there was a little input lag, and the video quality was still not perfect, but honestly I was really blown away almost to the point of being giddy about the possibilities this could present.
That is their target demographic.
