Because of the potential fallout that would happen if they did. Apple doesn't want to ban one of their key apps, it would be like banning Facebook. The app ecosystem is a key part of any mobile OS' appeal, it's exactly why the Windows Phone failed. Apple doesn't want to lose users to Android which will have twitter even if it's banned through side loading. It's just too popular of an app, even if it's a complete shit hole.
