Apple charges one thousand dollars for a phone; twitter is free. Is it unreasonable to expect a lower quality of service? Twitter didn't make its first annual profit until last year, whereas Apple has staggering amounts of cash burning a hole in its pocket.
And after all that, Apple's recent products have been somewhat lackluster. Catalina is currently a dumpster-fire; a friend installed it and had his machine just sit frozen for a while along with a huge number of other problems. Keyboard design, too. Doesn't sound to perfect to me.
