webtorrent is not compatible with bittorrent because browsers can't speak raw TCP/UDP as required by the bittorrent protocol. They use webrtc, which is not compatible with existing bittorrent clients and requires some centralized components (signalling servers) while bittorrent can operate fully decentralized. Also running things in a browser is at cross purposes with torrent long-term availability, large-scale (giga or terabyte) file management, efficient IO and so on.
