Really, the size is an artifact of the early importance of SMS as a mechanism for Twitter. If SMS isn't important to Twitter anymore, I can see why it makes sense to reconsider the limit.
Even if concision is a positive differentiator, there's no reason a limit based on SMS's limitations must be treated as unalterable.
