Look at it from the other side:  If Twitter didn't make changes, how
could the programmers earn their princely salaries?  How would the
executives justify their existence?  And their paychecks?

And don't forget monetization.  Many "improvements" are done to increase
the income to the company, not to please the existing eyeballs.
(Remember that adage?  If you aren't paying for it, you are not the
customer, you are the product.)

I don't use Twitter at all, which means I can look at the situation from
an unbiased viewpoint.

You can throw brickbats now.
