I think part of it is the underlying implication that the spn_j2_bigbang isn't inclusive enough. (The exception to this would be the rpf bigbang b/c at least as of last year, one of the J's had to be part of the main pairing/story).
The other part I think is like, hmmm. Take the delicious thing for example. Delicious is pretty much the default bookmarking site for fandom, right? And then there was news that it was shutting down and people were looking for replacements. There ended up being four or five different sites different people were using. With things spread out like that, it's harder to find what you're looking for, or stumble on something you weren't looking for, but ended up really liking.
I think rather than attracting more readers, having so many different bbs means people are less likely to give something a chance. It makes it easier to ignore as a whole. Some people like that, some people don't, but I think in terms of readership, the main bb is still your (general you) best shot.
It's all a ymmv thing, but as far as I see it, those are the main points of contention.
