Seems like the major benefits are:
1. 140 char tweets aren't indexed very well by search engines. Writing blog posts or 400+ char tweets? Way better. More indexable content. More user growth. Wall street is satisfied for a few months.
2. The notion of expressing yourself (or whatever you want to call blogging) is easy to explain (WordPress, Tumblr, Medium). I'd argue that it's much easier to explain blogging than Twitter. By introducing something less ambiguous it should help user growth.
As much as I would hate 10k char tweets, I can see why they are doing this.
Minor changes to the current product won't drive the growth they and Wall Street are looking for.
