The shareholders no longer care what happens to Twitter once they are shareholders no longer. (Except insofar as they are Twitter users.)

That need not be what the board wants and long term shareholders want. This pressure to accept an offer is for institutional (hedge funds) and short term investors. This thought process is similar to when the company decides to invest in the business at the expense of stock buy backs for example, the way Bezos ran Amazon for a long time.
