But what is the great new experience offered by something like twitter’s web site that demands all that new power and brings that machine to it’s knees? What cutting edge features is it offering that it didn’t offer in 2010? Thats kind of what made the web a cool platform, it was backwards compatible by default and could run on all kinds of things.

Tracking and data collection. The way the make money. Twitter in 2010 was actively losing money, if I recall correctly.
That said... modern frontend that doesn't run proparly on a core 2 intel machine with no adblocking should be massacred.
