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?

Something like this would seem to make more sense to run over I2P I'd think. But it looks like the devs aren't interested in trying to go that route

https://github.com/onionshare/onionshare/issues/377

Maybe in the future someone will fork the project to work over I2P eventually.

Might not be needed as much for some people either since i2p supports torrents. Once Qbittorrent supports i2p I'd imagine it will take off a bit more especially if they integrate an i2p router into the client.
