None of those matter. There are plenty of good reasons why Twitter might not be comfortable giving ads as an API, and that means they're giving away their resources for free by providing these APIs. Also, Twitter is a more mature platform now. They probably don't feel like they need the innovation from these apps anymore. But that misses the point, small changes like the view count on tweets are added to improve engagement / profit, so Twitter wants full control of what is seen. Again, it probably does not help Twitter to support these people, even if they are a small part of the user base. Same mindset as banning competitor links in your bio.
