If it keeps newcomers from making mistakes in client choice it looks like a good thing to me?

But is the statement correct? What’s the story behind uTorrent?

Yes. It stopped being good around 2010-2012 depending on who you ask. Unfortunately there are still plenty of old blog posts praising it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9CTorrent

This. For most people, they either hated the 3.0 update (assuming 2010), or hated the enshittification after 3.2.2 (assuming 2012).
