Because, as mentioned 1,000 times whenever NG v BT comes up, as it seems to every few weeks on here, NG's are great for 0-day shit (which BT lags by only a few hours nowadays), but BT offers plenty of things that NG's don't, largely community oriented. There are millions of trackers, many of them with large communities associated with them, that offer obscure/rare/out-of-print/VHS-transfer/LD-transfer/retrospectives/etc. that you just wouldn't find elsewhere.
I've just recently gotten hold of a mint copy of the series Scully which ran once on C4 in 1984, never repeated, never released on VHS, never released on any format in fact. On BT, in the bigger communities, once requested there's a reasonable chance of getting it tracked down.
I've not used NG's in a while, a good 4 or 5 years now, so they may have developed. But I doubt whether retention/requests/collections will ever come close to the best BT sites/trackers.
