> Why don't twitter. com just do the super apps w/ e-commerce

X, the company formerly known as twitter, fairly explicitly plans to, they are just taking time to pivot, in part because they don’t seem to have any real clear roadmap from where they are to where they want to be.

I see the apparent contradiction, but the goal has been made pretty explicit, but from the outside the plan seems to be missing.

Sounds like you meant fairly explicit goal, not fairly explicit plan.

What you call "fairly explicitly plans to" I call "supposedly is working on, according to statements by its owner, who has a history of vaporware announcements".
