Comment (by jeffr0):

 Questions answered in order.

 Yes the service is mainstream. It's geared towards gamers and launched in
 2011. Though core developers may not have heard of it before if they're
 not into gaming.

 Think of it as the YouTube for gamers. It has similar features and backing
 from a specific demographic.

 Yes, the service's Twitter account is verified and has 3.91 million
 followers https://twitter.com/Twitch

 I don't know but Twitch has a document available for developers on how to
 Embed videos and clips https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/guides/embed-video/

 I don't know but they have an entire site dedicate to developers who want
 to interact with the site https://dev.twitch.tv/

 The service is 5 years old

 Yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch.tv

 There are a few WordPress plugins that exist that take advantage of the
 service but none that I could find that add the service as an oEmbed
 endpoint https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=twitch

 It should also be noted that WordPress.com supports embedding Twitch.tv
 videos but it requires using a shortcode
 https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/twitch-tv-shortcode/

 Based on a cursory search of Trac, I didn't see any other tickets
 proposing that Twitch.tv be added as a whitelisted oEmbed provider
