Author of the post here: I know no researcher in the life sciences who's using the university search systems. Instead people are mostly using Pubmed or Google Scholar.

But that doesn't solve the access: Finding the PDF you want on the publishers website can be a huge pain. So people just paste the DOI/Pubmed-ID etc. into Sci-Hub to get right to the PDF.

Hope that makes some sense :-)

You are just one person.. I don't have to do anything to access articles other than instantly visit the article page and download the PDF in one or two clicks.
