Some people watch a ton of netflix shows non anime or are cinephiles. Anime shows are generally short in comparison, other then the big ones. For example one season of one show is generally 13 episodes and only have about  20 minutes of content each, so just 4 hours and 20 minutes. Same as 2 movies or 4-5 episodes of GoT or NCIS.

For big shows like One Piece there is only like 15 minutes of content so it is easy for me to watch 13 episodes in a day or 2. Do that 100 times and there you have 100 animes. Of course I can't watch that much personally I am more like 30-50+ because my tastes are varied between video games, anime, movies, etc.

They're also much more generic and cliched in comparison. I don't even watch that much anime and I still get the feeling "haven't I already seen this?" when watching some new stuff. Can't imagine how often the serious anime watchers feel like that.

This might be a terrible comparison. But it is like a fetish. 

If one likes one thing in anime for example fantasy worlds, there is very few western shows that give off that aspect due to technical and budget limitations.

Another example lets say Super Powers, One Piece is kind of like Xmen but there is very little Xmen media to watch compared to One Piece.I like both but I have to wait every 2 years for an Xmen movie while I can watch One Piece every 2 months.

I think most western shows are the same thing too, to be fair, examples CSI,CSI2,CSI3,CSI4,NCIS,Law and Order, and all those other generic cop shows that have no business being like that. And the Friends archetype for "comedy" etc.
