With regards to the API, they shut it down because there were people building apps with the stated intention of taking users from twitter and building their own platform.

I’m on my phone and don’t have a source handy, but it was a serious enough concern to force Twitter to do what they did to the API!

If that is a real concern, how come Wikipedia isn't susceptible to it?

Because the Wikipedia community can't be replicated.
