Twitter integration was incredibly ubiquitous in all social based tech for some reason. I'm assuming its API was originally very friendly and unintrusive and now it's probably the exact opposite. I think X is now also charging money, which is likely the primary reason Sony and Nintendo are dropping it.
Which would make sense - stuff like this automates content creation on your platform, which justifies pricing for advertisement (its main income). Basically bots but not really because they're initiated by a human action.
