I can't say I totally saw this coming, but when Elon started talking about the WeChat/Everything App/X, the writing was on the all for 3rd party clients. Still, a very shortsighted move.

Wouldn't a WeChat type of approach mean encouraging third party clients/integrations/etc?

  I don't think so, at least for (mobile) clients, but yes for server-side integrations.

    Good point. :)

  Integrations with third parties? Yes. Clients? No.

The writing has been on the wall for 3rd party clients since Twitter restricted API access the first dozen times pre-Elon.

  Except not really, because they reversed course on that, added a bunch of new features, and continued to maintain and update it. It never had feature parity with the site, but it did get better over time.
