That's a good point. But I think also what mattered are how the content policies are enforced. I think Musk misread the situation. I do believe Twitter was biased about bans previously but that is because its user base wanted those bans. Social media apps tend to have a specific target demographic. In that sense, Twitter was not really in the "public town square" business but the memes and speech business of a specific demographic. It's not surprising there is an exodus from Twitter now that Musk has shown no loyalty to that base. Yes, it's petty but I've seen far worse on the internet. If Musk wanted something different he should have spent less money making a new app.
I am not trying to provoke a flame war here either actually if it comes off that way. I think the business of social apps is trendy and you have to know your audience.
