I don't really get it. LoC also archives commercial content that was, at some point, closed off to non-payers.
As for why Twitter and not your average blogger...well...because there's a specific endpoint to get all the tweets, each of which is a discrete, well-defined object. Finding all the blogs on the Internet is likely not as easy.
