I'm guessing Twitter runs their own infra for the really heavy throughput stuff. They're big enough that I'd imagine economies of scale kicked in a long time ago.
It sounds like they moved stuff like logging/metrics and query systems onto GCP, which makes sense because as another poster said utilization is probably bursty.
