Why isn't OnionShare more popular among pirating communities? (lemmy.ml)

I was just browsing some torrents lately and anything that isn't on a torrent is on a website like rapidgator. Rapidgator is ok if you downloading audiobooks, but why aren't more people using OnionShare to send and receive files? I haven't used it and I don't know it's limitations, but if I ever wanted a file which was shared over it, I would spring into action and install it.

So yeah, why?

Cause it's fucking slow and we don't need to waste the limited resources of the Tor Project. There are people who crucially rely on Tor, we don't need Tor in order to pirate content.
