I'm not sure why Apple would play police for Twitter, though.

Isn't Twitter integrated into Apple's mobile operating system? Such tight partnerships is plenty reason for them to play police for Twitter.

Yes and no. Apple wants to protect their Twitter partnership, but... Apple knows that there aren't any effective police in the park next door. So the question is whether Apple values their Twitter relationship enough that they're willing to cede most of the future energy and enthusiasm around third-party Twitter clients to Android.
It's possible, but I don't think it is at all an easy call.
