I feel like everyone uses different platforms to different ends, so I'm surprised at the number of people who feel the desire to crosspost.
To me, twitter is utterly cancerous and Facebook is where I see friends and family. To others, they use Twitter for communication with their business network, and Facebook for friends. And so on. The idea of blasting from one to the other, other than in the case of businesses (which I'm not much concerned about, they can suck it up) seems odd.
Obviously there's the occasional "tell twitter AND facebook that, after 10 years involved with this organization, I will be moving on.." but those rare cross posts can be done manually. It's the always-posting-multiple-places-as-part-of-a-personal-account that perplexes me.

I have a bunch of Facebook friends who used the Twitter -> FB transport; part of their network is on Twitter, the other part is on Facebook, and they want to use a single entry point that's more convenient for them when posting. The outrage isn't just about Twitter though. It's also about that you now can't do IFTTT->Facebook, Buffer->Facebook, or whatever other app you were using (including your own)->Facebook. (Speaking of Buffer, did this move just kill their business?)
