Twitter is a company that has a track record of both user and developer hostility. They shouldn't be this for the world, and they don't need to be either.
I like to say if you're skating where the puck is going to be, you should be skating towards running your own software that speaks ActivityPub.
By you, I don't mean you per se. I mean organizations with budgets who would typically be assigning email accounts and that keep an LDAP directory.
Twitter could even sell a white-labeled version of this and manage it on your behalf on their own servers.
Some of the target organizations may not want to be subject to rules applicable to American corporations. They're free to operate something like this outside those bounds and use an interoperable protocol.
