I my mind, the main issue with twitter (and the rest of "social") is that they're funded by advertisers. It's a fundamentally broken model, because it makes "engagement" the main metric of success, and this in turn drives all kinds of dark patterns, gradually turning any online space into a cesspool of rage and mediocrity. I believe that is the primary issue, and most of the issues identified by OP are consequences of this.
