Well, which-key simply displays existing keybindings. A package
author doesn't have to do anything, which-key just works.
Transient OTOH defines its own key sequences, so you can't use it
to show users existing keybindings. If a package author wants
their package to work with transient, they have to define
transient menus for all functionality they want to expose.
Transient key bindings also work differently from standard Emacs
key bindings. That's not a bad thing, because transient's main
purpose is to provide an interface to external command line
programs (such as git, as it was originally developed as part of
magit) and it's well-suited for that.
It would be possible to use transient to provide an interface to
Emacs packages, but the interface would be different from what is
standard, so it's not a which-key replacement.
