Nor any kind of hashing like DC++ uses TTH, which makes its usage not scalable.

Point is that it uses resources on the device, and that P2P is not recommended over 3G or public WiFi APs. Yes, sure, it will work, but your 3G provider won't love you if you use the upload of the 3G network to upload gangsta rap MP3z to the internetz. And, for good reason IMO. Its much better spend for other tasks. Even some your 3G provider won't like either, such as VoIP.
