So why didn't they use the same option you do rather than getting their own special web portal for it?

Prioritisation of requests. I'd be extremely surprised if Twitter wasn't already prioritising standard requests too. If you get at the same time 1 request each: from FBI, from someone with multiple actioned past reports, and from an account created 10 sec ago, it makes complete business and community safety sense to handle them in a specific order. (But not with different rules)

And if FBI provides such requests often enough, it makes sense to ingest them in the most efficient way that works for both sides.
