At the very least, Twitter has an A/B test going on iOS which switches you back to the For You tab aggressively. It's as aggressive as switching to another app like email for less than a minute and you'll see a jarring switch as the app shifts back to For You tab.

It used to be that way, like last year. It's not any more.

This is probably boosting metrics so removing it would put them in the sights of management whether it's intentional, or not.
