IIRC you do need an app token to make requests to the Twitter API, at least for users' timelines. So like gdudeman said, the solution is straight forward - requiring third party apps to show promoted tweets is an easily solution to this problem. They would just include these promoted tweets in with the other tweets in the feed API endpoint (do they really not do this as it stands? Seems like such an obvious thing to do.) Perhaps there's a technical reason for them not doing this, or maybe it's political.
