Wish they would go after the starting soon screen that most run for 30 minutes before they actually get on to stream

What exactly is the harm? I would assume they are checking to ensure all of their hardware and software is working as intended. You're free to view something else or enjoy an entirely different activity in the interim.

I think what they mean is that it takes storage space for no reason after the stream is over

That's viable. I think limiting total storage and leaving it up to them to trim the video down is a good solution.
