This was my original take as well, but I now suspect the reason for all this and their refusal to accommodate the app ecosystem is that they don’t want third party apps at all. They want users on the official app where they can monetize the

I’d hazard a guess that in order to bring in $100k on Twitch you’re probably in the top 1000 of all streamers. In order to make that in programming you don’t even need to be among the top few million.
