I use stremio with some torrent plugin. I've read about debrid , but don't really get it's advantage. Is it mainly to avoid being identified as torrenting by authorities? So if i live in a torrent friendly country it doesn't matter?

It's not just that. Streaming from an proper server always beats streaming from P2P connections. The former is much faster to stream, forward, and rewind, making the whole streaming experience better. Especially when watching 4K content or old movies with relatively less number of seeders.
