TBF nowadays the move has a certain logic. By keeping your content private you keep it away from search engines and LLMs. Twitter does not rely on search engines to drive traffic to it, and it's a large, already established platform (current efforts to drive it into the ground aside). If any platform should be able to go private, they should.
