I browsed the restrictions and sort of understood how they changed the game for 3rd party clients, but this is something different, isn't it?

Obviously Twitter is still benefitting from IFTTT publishing to their platform. It would then be a mutually beneficial relationship, then, when IFTTT benefits from Twitter's platform. Twitter is a leech.

It's not that IFTTT violates their terms directly, but twitter triggers give IFTTT users the tools to violate the terms.
