I think they are strategically working towards that end. If they simply turned them off they'd be alienating Twitter users who use those apps and it would lead to lots of bad press. Instead they're stunting their growth and signaling the beginning of the end.

Not cutting off third party apps right away also buys them time so they can improve the iOS and Mac apps (where I think the majority of third-party usage is), but I agree that the bad press is a larger deterrent than crappy first-party apps.
