My reading of the situation is that for 99.99% of data currently transferred by Bittorrent, v1 works just fine. And for many use cases, the ability to do something like change an already created torrent would actually be detrimental. It's not that v2 is actively bad, it's just that it's designed for a different audience than currently uses Bittorrent, and will take time for that new audience to find it.
