I don't think that's why most people left Twitter. N=1, but for me it was much more the rapid decline in "default" content: when I sign in now, my DMs are filled with spammers and my recommended feed is just the owner and a bunch of reactionary stuff.

Your feed can be just people you follow. You never have to look at the recommended feed or whatever it is called now.

I did that for a while, but both the app and Twitter’s website would always switch me back to the inorganic feed. And honestly, it was fine before — most of the recommendations were appropriate.
