Why torrenting haven't fully adopted I2P?
I found I2P much better than Tor network, and now it supports BitTorrent protocol too https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent .
Why haven't the pirates migrated to I2P? Why are we still using clearnet and making people backout of seeding cause of DMCA?

unless if you're a thirdie or use a proxy or a good VPN
That's my point, that's significantly more effort then just implementing i2p. You shouldn't have to worry about that because we should be using better protocols. It's the protocol's fault here, and VPNs are band-aid solutions.
imo I'm pretty sure that using a VPN is much easier than setting i2p
It's literally a toggle in the BitTorrent client, which hopefully will eventually default on
You can also easily add a official extension to BiglyBT for I2P support and seed clearnet torrents you've downloaded already over I2P as well
BiglyBT handles all of the I2P router itself if you don't have a existing install, you can point it to an existing I2P install if you have one that's running 24/7 so is well integrated which is what I do
