One-stop shopping and the legal "protection" of not appearing on a bittorrent peer list. (It's still illegal, but less detectable.)
The media companies have largely caught on to Usenet and have been issuing automated DMCAs on Usenet content immediately since the early 2010s. Since the posts are stored on a centralized server, the providers can and do comply with DMCA takedowns with automated software. As a result, popular TV and Movies with correct titles are usually taken down quickly.
