Guess this is related to the abomination called "new Twitter UI". While the redesign is an abomination, with Twitter especially there is another thing in play: they do not listen to or consult their users in any way, no matter if ordinary users or third party app developers.
Third party developers want to be able to use all the features available on the platform - especially when it comes to DMs, polls and media. But Twitter has locked down all that stuff and introduced ridiculous rate limits on that what remains open - to the point that writing a full featured client is not worth the time any more.
Users want to get rid of harrassment - the calls of "Twitter, ban the f...ing Nazis" are years old. Instead, Twitter still doesn't even allow banning quote-tweeting - meaning, a large account quote-tweets a small-ish account and the followers of the large account then dog-pile on the quoted tweet. Mass flagging exploits automated AI filters leading to (especially) sex workers being automatically banned, with next to zero accountability for Twitter and sometimes requiring court orders. But instead of working on real pain points like the ones I just described, Twitter rather works away silently on a crap design, forces it onto their users overnight and doesn't even give an option to opt out or to submit feedback.
Of course users feel like they're being treated like shit.
