I think it could go hand in hand. What an "active user" does and expects from Twitter is wildly different depending on your residence country, social position, gender, age, occupation etc.
There is not one Twitter experience, but a multitude, and expecting to fully grasp the platform just by being on it for a few years is unrealistic.
I think that's important to note, and also worth keeping in mind that Elon's Twitter experience is probably an extreme outlier in terms of how users interact with the site.
