If you are trying to avoid downtime from inadvertent ddos then it makes sense to avoid having a single point of failure exposed publicly. There would be more failure points but ideally resulting in a hydra situation rather than a blackout situation. You could ofc also just pay for a higher capacity central server but relying on others to set up mirrors is a way to distribute the costs without needing any transactions.
I will defer to Jumble's expertise. I had noticed unique elements to shared patreon urls in the past but evidently it is possible to strip those.
You raise a good point. Perhaps there should be a layered approach with a distribution feed that is shared only with mirrors who then provide public feeds.
iirc the download urls are personalized so that patreon can monitor account sharing. Mirroring the media files is necessary to prevent the feed donors getting got.

15 mins in and I'm sorry but I can't watch anymore youtube drama. I was expecting 2 hours of a pig pooping on it's balls and now I'm disappointed.
