I think there's a few things that go into this.

The biggest one in my opinion would be that when we're watching we don't have anything directly at risk so we don't have an emotional attachment to the outcome of a hand or the financial win or loss that comes with it. Mental game is a huge part of poker and a weak mental game can cause players with strong fundamental understanding of the game make poor decisions.

Another thing that factors into the equation is the paradox of poker itself. Everyone thinks they are good, most people aren't.

Are you sure you're analyzing the spot correctly and that you have a better understanding of the spot than the person you are watching?
Have you accounted for any in game exploits they may be using that shifted their strategy from optimal?
Are you competitive at the stakes the streamer was playing and thus able to give him beneficial advice or do you just think you're better than him?

In poker it's usually both players who are much worse than you or much better than you who appear to be doing crazy stuff from where you're standing,

The fun part is trying to figure out whose there to give you their lunch money and who is there to take yours from you!!
