Tbh this is totally reasonable.
You can't have an alternative client which is ad free competing with your own service (or where the third party adds their own ads).
It means that Twitter also can address those use cases and get that feedback.
It's a fairly simple app after all it's not like Shopify, WordPress etc needing a plugin ecosystem.
