Most clients are web browsers and support for torrents in http is the same as for every other file.
So that would only give us a use for torrents as a form of content distribution plattform to get the actual files closer to the client.
In cases where we have actual non browser clients: i like to curate what i am distributing and don't want to distribute anything i happen stumble upon or would you be willing to store and more importantly share everything you find on 4chan or that might show up in your mastodon feed?
