Well, if twitter was bloated by a very big team it needs to be shrank first to become a smaller product. All this bloated legacy code is still there and would have to be rewritten. The teams that over-complicated the simple app wanted to show that they do something. When they are gone, their bloated code will not magically become small. And no I dont think that Twitter layoffs were performed well. Just observing that those two things are not a contradiction. On a side note: after upgrades of many apps or programs or websites that do them worse I often think that a lot of people complicate things or change things for the sake of showing that they are doing something.
