Third party app developers are more likely to have been. It's also likely for a third-party dev to have bad intentions.
I periodically review and make sure to disable third-party app access to my Twitter accounts. Who's to say your average celeb is likely to do that?

It was social engineering, but still access to internal tools which made this bypass possible.
