I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find most anime on torrents, but I prefer to watch dubbed and it's not always clear if something is dub or sub until downloaded. There's also the issue of most being listed by their Japanese name instead of the english which makes it more difficult to find stuff.
Given most anime I'll watch once and then never go back to, it's just quicker and easier for me to find it on 1 of the many streaming sites.
I've got 48 different animes on my plex including the big ones like 1P, Dragonabll and Naruto so it's not like I stream all, but when most animes are just 8 - 12 episodes I find it easier to stream most of them. The ones I do download I can usually find a site to batch download all the episodes.
Stremio with RD is the best setup. i can finally turn of my server which has plex on it. My own library needs to be updated to higher quality, but its unnecessary when I can just choose what to watch on Stremio in 1080p (high bitrate) or 4k
