It's really a reflection of what Twitter is actually great at: surfacing things that you're already interested in. If you're the type of person who interacts with a lot of political things on Twitter, it's going to surface things that will make you engage, which is hot political takes. So it makes you believe that you are part of this global consciousness, despite it really being just tens of thousands of people engaging with each other circularly.
Personally I have locked down my Twitter to only be about music and anime and it's really, really good at surfacing new art and new music that I enjoy. I have never seen a political take on my personal Twitter feed.
