Storing the data on a decentralized storage layer seems to achieve all of it and the tech is here now.

  It really isn't. IPFS and the likes have to get pinned and pinning for federation still has issues. You'd need a descent amount of users and volunteers to keep something afloat.

    Arweave does not need pinning. You pay upfront for 200 years. 1GB is about $10. So storing a tweet is about $0.000001.

      And what happens if they shut down? I might as well pay Google $10 for 2TB.

        Arweave has the same mechanics as Bitcoin: It is based on financial incentives. While Bitcoin miners calculate hashes to get transaction fees, Arweave miners store data to get those fees paid upfront for storage. So the question "what happens in they shut down" is similar to asking "what happens if Bitcoin shuts down?". It is not a single party the suddenly can decide to "shut down".

          Arweave is not Bitcoin. It isn't even close.
