What I said is definitely true - supporting that old version isn’t free - it needs to be maintained and all new features need to not inadvertently break it. I’m not saying this was necessarily a good move, but the upside to killing an API is you are able to cut any need to support any of it, including old versions.

The APIs for Twitter that they're cutting off aren't being cut off for other uses, though. This clearly isn't a maintenance issue.

  I can't parse what you wrote - shutting down any API relieves some maintenence burden.

    No APIs have been shut down. Specific apps competing with the Twitter mobile apps have had their access banned.
