> You can use it privately as well.

Yeah yeah. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a publishing platform. If you don’t think Twitter is about public conversation then you take a look at it for yourself some time.

Even if it is publishing, companies align in intent and wield incredible amounts of power with how information flows. They decide what is a legitimate story, and what is a conspiracy theory, and I personally don't trust large corporations to make these decisions. They are far from moral actors. Twitter is attempting to strip this power away from itself, and Apple does not like that.
