don't eepsites have a lot of the issues that onionsites have as well?
if a party were to acquire a large portion of routers, eepsites could be deanonymised as well, couldn't they? the only difference i see is that i2p is not as popular as tor and therefore not a target of agencies (yet).
also i think most tor nodes nowadays are run by volunteers (of course you could argue that they are agencies in hiding)
they also can't control the network because the software is not designed to be controled (which we can confirm ourselves as it is open source)
2000 sites every year? i wasn't able to find anything on that
from the markets and people that were deanonymised that i heard of, the crack in anonymity was always the person leaking their identity through some other means like using the same email for irl and dark web stuff or the feds applying social engeneering, not a fault of the tor network
