I had no bewilderment as to why Crashlytics sold. What bewildered me -- and apparently the author of the article as well -- is why on earth Twitter bought them.

I had no bewilderment as to why Crashlytics sold. What bewildered me -- and apparently the author of the article as well -- is why on earth Twitter bought them. It's essentially a commodity product, with multiple competing implementations, open-source offerings across the board, and is something that can be built (I know this because it has been built -- repeatedly) on a scale of months. If Twitter seriously paid $100M for that, I think whoever is leading up M&A might be completely disconnected from technological reality.
