I think the idea is that user adoption is the key to better speeds and reliability given the P2P nature

~~That is correct. i2p is designed such that peers are expected (required?) to share some bandwidth to be on the network.~~

Of course, that bandwidth stays in-network (unlike Tor which supports “exit nodes”) so it is less risky to share.

Edit: I’m totally wrong, oops

It's not required but default on. there's a setting for it, but also if it detects from your IP that you are in a risky country, it'll not enable the functionality to bridge other traffic
