Just to agree and expand, the reason the article is wrong is because a blog and Twitter are very different things.
My speculation:
Most of the people that are using Twitter aren't post a lot, nor are they posting anything a lot of "quality". Most is low signal, such as agreement. That does not make for an interesting blog. They are posting on Twitter because they have people saying things they like and in turn liking their support. Part of the reason people are having trouble with Mastodon is they do not have as wide a reach, so less fulfillment.
Take this blog for example, this one post is about 1/4 interesting information and 3/4 anti Twitter/Musk. I am glad that he made it, always great to share how to build and use tools!
I doubt that they will continue the blog though, their second post is them saying they are too lazy to write something quality and Lorem ipsum.
Most people want low effort engagement and most people do not consistently generate quality content. That is why Twitter gained and blogs lost.
