It would be great if conversations weren't siloed inside one corporation's servers, but I don't think WP will change anything re: Twitter.
Twitter and Mastodon are cognitively low-maintenance tools. The authoring is very simple, and designed to be within 280/500 characters. Wordpress is the opposite. The UI assumes you're there to write, not view other people's sites and comment on them.
Automattic owns Tumblr, and that type of UI is probably what would get people thinking of posts as "tweet-length info" instead of full-on blog posts.
