I think you underestimate the cost there is to switch. Suddenly you have to 1) install new software (unless an uTorrent update supports the new protocol), 2) lose all the content TPB had so far.

I could be wrong, but that seems like a big showstopper.

I don't mean to say that it's an easy task to turn over all the content, but places like TPB have muscles to flex and as far as I can see, if they did it then others would follow. It wouldn't surprise me at all if uTorrent or other clients scrambled to push an update for it in that event...
