It's skill, but streamers are lazy fucks that don't want to put in any effort to GIT GUD.

This. Most runs can be pretty easily salvaged through player skill, but streamers tend to be shitters who can't play vidya.
I mean, it's definitely skill-based, you can make just about anything work with good reflexes/movement, and it's almost always your own fault for dying. But on the other hand, getting good treasure/trinkets makes the game massively easier/more manageable. I have a policy of not abandoning runs until death, but sometimes your luck is just total dogshit and there's no hope. I haven't played any other roguelikes really, but I'm sure they work about the same way.
