Without an algorithmic feed, the utility of twitter maxes out once you start following more than about 200 people.
The point of the algorithm is to show the user the content he/she wanted to see in the first place but might not have had the patience to scroll for, or might have gotten fed up reading lower quality content and closed the app before reading.
An algorithmic feed will also help a lot with spam detection/prevention.
