LigGen / SciHub are model citizens in this regard. Use the best tech for the job . Torrents + IPFS + simple http mirrors all over . While their data is big its not as big as Archive.org https://libgen.is/repository_torrent/ so I guess one still needs the funding to go to these decentralized nodes and they are there mostly for resiliancy

If so, why do they keep jumping from one dubious domain and TLD from another?

That's mentioned in the comment you're replying to as "simple HTTP mirrors." Those are vulnerable to takedowns but are kept up for the sake of easy accessibility to the public that doesn't know how to access any of the other options. Their availability has no real bearing on the availability of the other options beyond the tech savviness of the general public.
