The thing is these employees could have come in and directly used all the "knowledge and competency" they learned at Twitter to build Threads and it would still be 100% legal. There is a very high bar to proving whether any of it is actually a trade secret.

I think we're in agreement here. The general shape of how to build Twitter isn't a trade secret at this point. Copy-pasting source code is.
