But, like a rabbit has two holes, the bittorrent people can weather an attack on the DHT because everything will simply fallback to.. the trackers.

Then there is a third actor which a sort of hidden tracker. Back in the day, they were running what were effectively sybil nets in the DHT which were "good sybil nets" that were answering requests just like a traditional tracker.

This system shouldn't be derided, it won a war. But opacity was a big part of it.
