I think it's in part because of NAT. Less and less people have a real IP address, so they can't share the torrents to others, and most VPNs don't provide an upload port either.

The tracker websites are also increasingly hostile with malicious ads, so those with ineffective ad blockers can't use them.

Qbittorrent works with my double-nat set up (don't ask why, my isp sucks) without any set up. I feel like it's more of a tech literacy issue.
