Since when does Twitter care what you tweeted last year, or even last month? Faithfully archiving your online history has never been a priority for them. The entire platform is focused on showing you what's happening right now, and they deliberately make it difficult to find older tweets without knowing the exact ID or running some sort of crawler. We could go on a long rant about whether or not we should trust our data to cloud-based third-party services, and so on and so forth; but in the case of Twitter, they're not even trying. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they went ahead and announced that they would delete every tweet that is over X months or Y years old.
