This is useful because the ADBC spec requires that the AdbcStatement must outlive the stream. GDAL's ArrowArrayStream export from OGR also specifies something like this. If the stream is getting consumed from R it's no problem; however, we want to be able to export these streams elsewhere (e.g., DuckDB, Polars) and handling it at the C level ensures that flexibility.
