People will use a technology for what it's best at. It's no different from how people use(d) Bitcoin mainly to buy drugs. BitTorrent is maybe slightly superior for legal file-sharing, but strongly superior for illegal one, and so it only dominates in the latter.

I don't think it's anything to be sad about; people use it because it works. It would be much sadder if it weren't used at all.
