I think the MySpace narrative has always been a bit off- sure, most user pages were very much in the vein of Geocities, but that was only one problem. Very few of my friends were on MySpace, and the main reason they cited was it was too complicated. Even copy-pasting a pre-made layout was too much bother. I clearly remember multiple friends pushing me to get a FB account very hard, and often the main selling point was "easy".
Although for Twitter, I think they absolutely know the site has a problem with toxicity, but they 100% do not care. Angry people will spend longer on the site arguing, post more, and see more ads. They may say they care, but their actual business incentives push them towards maintaining the current state of discourse.
