They just got webtorrent capability merged into libtorrent, the main library used in all desktop torrent clients. Its not yet fully applied tho, but it means that desktop clients could help seed webtorrents.
Yep, I know about that, but webtorrent isn’t the only thing, to have a great peertube native desktop experience, one would need it to bee able to use the client for torrenting for example.
A torrent client would also need to support p2p-media-loader to be able to handle HLS, which live-stream use and many videos are also being encoded in HLS.
Edit: source for the fact that peertube uses p2P-media-loader
