Many people don't realize much of the bit torrent debate ended because bit torrent switched from TCP to µTP. The problem was bit torrent clients caused massive congestion by making hundreds of TCP connections. µTP is extremely congestion/network friendly. It backs off based on latency, so it doesn't fill every buffer on the network.

The BitTorrent discussion didn't end because of uTP. It ended because ISPs got bigger fish to fry. Fish with actual money, like Google/Youtube and Netflix.

Yup. In 2007, bittorrent was 25% of internet traffic. With streaming becoming the standard way to consume since, bittorrent has become a drop in the bucket.

At least torrenters only download content once...
